This report details technical activities of the Hanford Engineer Works for the time period of September 1 through September 7, 1944.

This report is a discussion between Dr, Robert Stone of Knoxville, Tennessee and Dr. W.D. Norwood, the Medical Superintendent at HAPO, concerning the health hazards involved from working at HAPO and the maximum exposure to gamma radiation which a worker could be exposed to without receiving adverse irreparable damage.

By test duplicating actual operating conditions the average load was found to have a power factor of 95 percent and to be about 75 percent rated load. Since the Sola transformers must be operating into a load having a power factor of 90 percent and about 85 percent rated to attain proper output voltage, power factor corrective networks consisting of inductance and resistance in series were paralleled with the load. When these networks were added, the desired output voltage was attained. Several units have been successfully correction be used on the remaining units.

No administrative or operations significant events are reported. Construction in the pile areas, separations areas, and the technical center is reported. The Southern Railroad connection, Richland paving and related work, and housing work is described. Personnel and visitor data is presented.

An experimental range-energy relation in Ilford C-2 emulsion has been obtained for proteins up to 39.5 Mev. In the region from 17 to 33 Mev the relation for dry emulsion is fitted by the empirical equation E{sub (MeV)} = 0.251 R{sub ({mu})} 0.581. Variations in water content due to changes in atmospheric humidity make several percent difference in range. The range in Ilford glass is found to be 18 {+-} 4 percent longer than in dry C-2 emulsion.

A review is given of the various transverse thermomagnetic and galvanomagnetic effects. The coefficicnts and relations between coefficients are listed for both metals and semiconductors. A quantitative annlysis is given of the error in Hall effcct measurements owing to non-isothermal conditions. (auth)

This report details activities of the Nuclear Physics Research Operation for the month of August 1958.

Experiments on betatron oscillation frequency, beam life times, multiturn injection, longitudinal bunching, acceleration through the transition energy, energy spread in the accelerated beam, beam stacking procedures, effects of clearing neutralizing ions away from the stacked beam, and instability of the stacked beam are reported. (D.C.W.)

The use of digital computational techniques in the design of a 200-Mev standing-wave proton linear accelerator for use as an injector for a 12.5 Bev FFAG accelerator is described. A field computational program that permitted evaluation (optimization) of the r-f structure cost for a given accelerator design is described, and typical results are shown. A particle dynamics program is also described (D.C.W.)

This report details activities of the N-Reactor Department during the month of August 1963.

The report is divided into: Present reactor fuel production, N-RD production fuels, N-fuel development, and current reactor fuel development.

The Irradiated Rupture Prototype (IRP) has been used for rupture testing irradiated NPR prototype fuel elements. Most of the tests have been made to determine the rupture effect of different reactor exposures, fuel element geometries and water cooldown rates following the start of the rupture. This report summarizes the results obtained to date, mentions where information is lacking and gives further tests scheduled for the IRP.

This document lists all tanks which were active during each month by Waste Farm, which includes all tanks to which additions or subtractions were made. Each type of waste was indicated in each case, along with the nature of transfer and any pertinent remarks. Also reported are gallonage and inches of liquid in each tank.

This is a report of the radioactive liquid wastes discharged to the ground for July, 1964, at Hanford. The report lists plutonium and uranium by mass, {beta}-emitters by curies, and quantity of waste in liters.

This report details activities of the 200 Area for the month of August 1966.

The capacity of photosynthetic organisms to exhibit photo-induced electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) signals has been known for over ten years. Subcellular units of photosynthetic materials, the quantasomes and the chromatophores, are capable of Hill Reaction activity, and also of exhibiting the light-induced EPR signals. This, coupled with the rapid rise and decay kinetics of these signals, suggests but does not prove that the unpaired electrons are involved in the initial electron transfer processes in the primary quantum conversion act. The identification of the species giving rise to these signals and their connection with processes of primary quantum conversion remains elusive even though such varied approaches as mutant strains, special growth conditions, extreme physical conditions, special metabolic inhibitors, etc. have been applied to this problem. In this communication the authors wish to report another method being used in an attempt to identify the species responsible for the unpaired electrons. Hoffman prepared a water soluble, stable free radical, di-tertiary-butylnitroxide (hereafter called DTBN), which is a 'vigorous free radical scavenger'. It shows a sharp, well resolved, symmetrical, three-line paramagnetic resonance spectrum that is relatively insensitive to the molecular environment. The chemistry of di-tertiary butylnitroxide has not been studied extensively. However, four distinct types …

I have understood my assignment as a review of some of the work done in high-energy physics with polarized proton targets and a description of some of the special problems connected with polarized targets. Most of my report will be based on the polarized target that I am most familiar with--that constructed by Jeffries, Schultz, Shapiro, and myself. This target is no longer unique; in fact, it is now somewhat old-fashioned in some respects. Other polarized proton targets are in operation at CERN, Saclay, the Rutherford Laboratory, Argonne National Laboratory, the Soviet Union, and there is a target newly in operation at the Brookhaven Laboratory. Other targets are in operation or are in the process of design or construction at a number of other places. Unfortunately, none of these targets consists of pure hydrogen. The target material most often used is made of lanthanum magnesium nitrate, LMN. About a quarter of the weight of this crystal is water; it is the protons within the water molecules that are polarized. Hydrogen constitutes only 3 percent of the weight of the crystal. This means that scattering processes on hydrogen must be distinguished kinematically from scattering processes involving the heavy elements of the …

Douglas-United Nuclear is administering a program of studies to evaluate the effects of the proposed Ben Franklin Dam on the Hanford production reactors. Part of this program includes hydraulic model studies of the river from above 100-B Area to below 100-D Area. The Environmental Studies Section of Battelle-Northwest has been requested to furnish accumulated river data and to obtain supplemental data required for verification of the model. The unclassified velocity data has already been submitted. This document has been prepared to transmit the temperature data. The data shown for 1964 and 1965 were obtained in work done under the Division of Production research and development program, {open_quotes}Columbia River Studies{close_quotes} (Mission 14).

This report itemizes the irradiations performed by Testing and Irradiation Services for Battelle-Northwest. It lists the material being irradiated, awaiting disposition and material shipped during the report period. Data are given in table form. An explanation of the various columns in the report is given.
