Areas of work reported include: general radiation effects; toxicity of radioelements; studies on the molecular and cellular levels; environmental radiation studies; atmospheric radioactivity and fallout; marine sciences; radiological and health physics; and radiation instruments.

This is a progress report on analysis of thermal data from the Black Rock Desert of northwest Nevada. Hot springs at Soldier Meadows, Fly Ranch, Gerlach, and Pinto Mountains were mapped, and water flows and temperatures measured, by G.W. Berry and G.R. Downs in 1965 and 1966. These data have been studied further by Frank Hadsell (geophysicist) and L.T. Grose (geologist) at the Colorado School of Mines and with the computer facilities of the School of Mines Graduate Research Center, in an effort to determine geothermal power potentials. Power generation by hypothetical Carnot engines has been calculated for the four thermal areas. Data from seven prospect holes at Pinto Mountains have been exploited in plotting geothermal gradients and computing heat flows. It is emphasized that this report is to a large extent an exercise in arithmetic and thermodynamics, fraught with assumptions that may not endure. All of the conclusions are tentative. However, they consider this a valid line of practical research. To the extent that the figures and conclusions are applicable, they are generally encouraging in themselves and in comparison with those of developed geothermal areas, as to the geothermal power potential of Sun acreage in the Black Rock Desert …

This study investigates the cost of shutting down and later starting up the Hanford production complex. Also included are comments on two aspects, other than cost, which are consider to be of great importance. One is the impact of a complete shutdown on the Tri-Cities community. The other is the effect on Battelle`s Pacific Northwest Laboratory. This study encompasses six special shutdown-startup cases. One set of three cases assumes a shutdown of three years; the other set assumes the reactors have been down for a period of five years (from shutdown of the last reactor to startup of the first conventional reactor in the series). within each of the above mentioned sets there are three cases assuming the return of five, six, or seven reactors to weapons production. The sixth and seventh reactors are D and DR respectively. N Reactor is assumed transferred to WPPSS instead of shutdown, and consequently is available for recapture earlier than the conventional reactors. The shutdown schedule is shown in Table IA. The dates, except for the shut down of D Reactor, were picked arbitrarily and can be moved ahead so long as the intervals are kept the same. There is one exception to this …
