The Remote Working Level Monitor (RWLM) is an instrument used to remotely monitor the RN-daughter concentrations and the Working Level (WL). It is an ac powered, microprocessor based instrument which multiplexes two independent detector units to a single central processor unit (CPU). The CPU controls the actuation of the detector units and processes and outputs the data received from these remote detector units. The remote detector units are fully automated and require no manual operation once they are set up. They detect and separate the alpha emitters of RaA and RaC' as well as detecting the beta emitters of RaB and RaC. The resultant pulses from these detected radioisotopes are transmitted to the CPU for processing. The programmed microprocessor performs the mathematical manipulations necessary to output accurate Rn-daughter concentrations and the WL. A special subroutine within the program enables the RWLM to run and output a calibration procedure on command. The data resulting from this request can then be processed in a separate program on most computers capable of BASIC programming. The calibration program results in the derivation of coefficients and beta efficiencies which provides calibrated coefficients and beta efficiencies.

Technical projects, facility projects, planning and analysis, and regulatory affairs are reported for OWI's portion of the National Waste Terminal Storage program. (DLC)

A calculation is presented for the final bunching of a particle beam in a synchrotron or storage ring. The voltage per turn, the harmonic number, and the bunching time are obtained. (PMA)

A laser light-scattering particle-size analyzer was used for a two-day period under limited field conditions to observe the occurrence and growth of particles in geothermal brines. Tests were conducted under conditions where both pH and rate of cooling to room temperature strongly influence the size and nature of the particulate population, with a low (4.5) pH and rapid quenching favoring slow growth rates. A method for estimating particulate mass in time periods shorter than 6 h from quenching is presented. Some implications for sampling and solids analysis are discussed.
