Research and development efforts of the burnup, cross sections and dosimetry programs in the Chemical Engineering Division of Argonne National Laboratory are reported for the period January to June 1972. Work is reported in the following areas: (1) development of an X-ray spectrometric method for the determination of the rare-earth fission products and application of this method to the determinations of burnup in nuclear fuels; (2) determination of fast ·fission yields of bum up monitors and other fission products; (3) a search for a spon~aneously fissioning isomer of {sup 241}Pu; (4) measurements of the tritium and alpha particle yields in fast-neutron fission of {sup 235}U and {sup 239}Pu; (5) evaluations of available data on the differential cross sections for the {sup 56}Fe(n,p){sup 56}Mn and {sup 32}S(n,p){sup 32}P reactions; and (6) measurements of both fission rates by solid-state track recorders and reaction rates by foil activation, in the Coupled Fast Reactivity Measurement Facility.

Recent years have witnessed the development of accelerators of ever-larger current, both peak and average, as well as a proliferation of storage rings of ever-greater luminosity. Consequently, there is considerable interest in and growing concern with, the phenomena which limit beam currents and beam densities, namely, the collective modes of behavior of relativistic particle beams. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that the collective behavior can be controlled, at least to some extent, turned to good advantage, and employed for collective acceleration in devices such as the electron ring accelerator. Quite naturally then, almost every accelerator conference during the last five years has had a review paper on collective effects, while at the same time the number of original papers in this area now exceeds many hundreds. And thus I am faced with the dilemma of being unable to give a comprehensive and complete review (such a review, incidentally, would be most valuable; in my judgment the time is ripe for a comprehensive monograph on the subject.), and yet finding it difficult, in a brief review, to be comprehensible, balanced, and yet fresh. I have resolved the dilemma by firstly supplying sufficient references as to allow the interested reader to readily …

Since the enactment of the Water Quality Act of 1965, there has been an increasing concern over the quality of the nation's waters. Adoption of temperature standards of water bodies, combined with the economics of scale, is resulting in increased use of alternatives to once-through cooling systems, particularly ponds and towers. Approximately 60 steam-electric power plants with capacities greater than 60 electrical megawatts use cooling ponds. This report documents a review of cooling pond technology in which major emphasis was placed on examination of engineering and environmental aspects of design, mathematical and physical modeling, use of sprays, and economics.

Major element and trace element analyses of Columbia River basalts have been compiled to indicate where geochemical changes occur in the stratigraphy of the basalts. The analyses were averaged and plotted on petrologic variation diagrams to elucidate geochemical trends and correlations. This report is concerned mainly with the major elements. (auth)

From introduction: This report covers all aspects of an energy system based on nonfossil synthetic fuels and includes discussions on the production of the fuels; their storage, transmission, and end uses; and an overall systems analysis illustrating the role these fuels might assume in the future.

The authors describe several types of small liquid xenon-filled chambers, each optimized for a particular property such as a real-time spatial resolution of {+-} 15 {mu}, a time resolution of {+-} 10{sup -7} sec, or a pulse height of 10{sup -12} coulomb. Larger chambers combining all these properties will be of great value at NAL energies, and they describe some of the techniques necessary for their construction.
