Report issued by the Office of Saline Water over studies conducted on the reverse-osmosis program. The methods of desalination through osmosis are discussed. This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.

The prebiotic synthesis of phosphorus-containing compounds--such as nucleotides and polynucleotides--would require both a geologically plausible source of the element and pathways for its incorporation into chemical systems on the primitive Earth. The mineral apatite, which is the only significant source of phosphate on Earth, has long been thought to be problematical in this respect due to its low solubility and reactivity. However, in the last decade or so, at least two pathways have been demonstrated which would circumvent these perceived problems. In addition, recent results would seem to suggest an additional, extraterrestrial source of reactive phosphorus. It appears that the 'phosphorus problem' is no longer the stumbling block which it was once thought to be.

Introduction: The chemical character of ground water depends to a large degree upon the character of the rock formations through which the water moves. The composition of the water is the result of several solutional and decompositional processes.

This report details activities of the N-Reactor Department during the month of April 1964.

Production Test IP-584-D, Supplement B authorized the irradiation of target assemblies in KER-1 and KER-2. Furthermore, the production test authorized that these target assemblies be irradiated with)other approved production tests; for this test, N Reactor inner fuel elements (NIE-1) will be irradiated. The production test required that specific operating conditions and loading patterns would be approved by the managers of Testing, Process and Reactor Development, and Process Technology Subsections prior to charging.

This document provides details of the investigation of the H Reactor mischarging incident.

Metallic thorium uranium fuel elements continue to show excellent irradiation performance in high temperature pressurized water coolant. Volume expansion measurements made after 2.1{times}10{sup 20} fissions/cm{sup 3} (6200 MWD/T) at fuel temperatures above 500 C shows no indication of fission gas-in-duced swelling. Analysis of fuel swelling data from tubular elements shows apparent effect of geometry (restraint) on both low temperature volume expansion and the temperature at which accelerated volume expansion initiates. Evidence of grain boundary tearing has been observed in tubular metallic uranium fuels irradiated in 1600 pos water coolant. Volume expansion due to two types of structural damage have ben observed uranium - 2 w/o zirconium alloy irradiated to 0.25 a/o burnup at temperatures up to 550 C.

This is the monthly report for the Hanford Laboratories Operation, April 1964. Reactor fuels, chemistry, dosimetry, separation processes, reactor technology, financial activities, biology operation, physics and instrumentation research, applied mathematics, programming operation, and radiation protection are discussed.

The incentives, objectives, and previous test results of the hot-die- sizing program have been presented in recent documents. The test described in this report is one additional step in the evaluation of an alternate fuel fabrication process.
