A report which covers progress on the testing of the General Engineering and Consulting Laboratory Turbine Pump No. 1 from June 16, 1948, to July 31, 1948.

This technical memorandum is a mathematical investigation of the problem of overspeeded disks. New methods must be sought for obtaining a satisfactory stress equalization in the cross section of these disks.

Contains several recipes using dried fruit in school lunches. Includes general directions for handling dried fruit during the preparation stages.

Neutron shielding is done to protect workers from excessive radiation and to keep a low neutron background for research in neutron counting. To meet health standards the total neutron flux allowable is 150 n/cm/sec per eight hours, or 50 n/cm/sec per twenty-four hours. Literature values for the absorption coefficients of paraffin and water are considered, and some experimental data is presented which approximately confirm them. A description of barriers at Mound Laboratory is given. Plans for future work on slowing-down of fast nautrons and capture of slow neutrons are included.

This memorandum is an outline of hydrologic investigations that seem desirable at the Hanford Directed Operations of the Atomic Energy Commission. In its present form, the outline is tentative and is intended as a basis for further considerations in the Commission, the Geological Survey, and other agencies concerned. In scope, it seeks to cover (1) advisory functions to the Atomic Energy Commission and its prime contractor with respect to an evaluation of the continuing hazards due to process wastes, also with respect to water-supply problems of the expanding operations at Hanford; also (2) civilian-protection aspects of possible emergencies, especially in the region adjacent to the Hanford reservation.

"A summary has been made of available data on the characteristics of airfoil sections with trailing-edge high-lift devices. Data for plain, split, and slotted flaps are collected and analyzed. The effects of each of the variables involved in the design of the various types of flap are examined and, in cases where sufficient data are given, optimum configurations are deduced" (p. 1).

Note presenting a theoretical investigation of the supersonic wave drag of nonlifting sweptback tapered wings with thin symmetrical double-wedge airfoil sections with maximum thickness at 50 percent chord. For wings of equal root bending stress and given sweepback, taper increases the wing wave-drag coefficient at Mach numbers.

This technical report provides supplementary information on the Brookhaven nuclear reactor. It details added safety systems, tests, expounds on information included in the original report, describes liquid wastes system, and describes different procedures for operating the nuclear reactor.

Shock-wave equations have been evaluated for a range of Mach number in front of the shock from 1.05 to 4.0. Mach number behind the shock, pressure ratio, derivation of flow, and angle of shock are presented on charts. Values are also included for density ratio and change in entropy.

Report discussing specifications for the design of a waste heat steam boiler "for the purpose of generating steam to operate a condensing steam turbine electric generator from the clean hot radioactive air that has cooled the atomic energy reactor of [a] laboratory under a pressure less than atmospheric."
