Weekly report of the Texas Agricultural Statistics Service on broiler chick numbers in Texas and compared with other states. It includes compiled statistics across six consecutive weeks, from the week ending October 18 to the week ending November 22, during 1985 and 1986 for broiler eggs set, chicks hatched, and chicks placed.

This report explores some of the international developments and notes contrasts with the United States, and some potential lessons with regard to managing the new technology systems of Labor relations and issues relevant to workplace monitoring.

Secondary ion mass spectrometry and Auger electron spectrometry depth profiling were used to determine impurity distributions in sputter deposited tungsten films over N-type and P-type 80/20 silicon-germanium elements of thermoelectric devices. These analyses showed that silicon, oxygen, sodium, boron, and phosphorous were present as impurities in the tungsten film. All these impurities except oxygen and sodium came from the substrate. Oxygen was gettered by the tungsten films, while sodium was possibly the result of sample handling. Further, the results from this study indicate that an oxide build-up, primarily at the tungsten/silicon-germanium interface of the N-type materials, is the major contributor to contact resistance in thermoelectric devices.

A significant driver of machine size in previous designs was the amount of nuclear shielding placed between the blanket and the toroidal field (TF) coils to minimize the radiation heating and damage in these critical components. Of course the total amount of shielding is not arbitrary; it certainly must adequately suppress radiation outside the plant. However, if all of this shielding were contained inside the TF coils, several parameters (coil size and weight, maximum field at the windings, stored energy, etc.) would become inordinately large. Reducing the amount of shielding inside the TF coils and allowing the radiation load to climb to less ''conventional'' levels could pay big benefits in reducing the machine size, so long as the damage and heat load remain tolerable. Recent studies indicate that superconducting windings in TF coils can accept much higher heat loads than have been previously considered and simultaneously can be designed with higher than conventional current densities. The purpose of the present exercise is to probe the limits of acceptable radiation levels in relation to winding pack current densities in the TF coils for reactor relevant designs.
