This report summarizes the stratigraphy, lithology, and physical properties studied in the UE12p#1 exploratory diamond drill hole at the Nevada Test Site.

This report summarizes the geological analyses of one of the preliminary cross sections from the Pahute Mesa in the Nevada Test Site, particularly the uppermost Precambrian-Paleozoic strata.

From Introduction: "Following the guidelines established by this committee, several commercially developed precision connectors have appeared on the market which have led to the wide use of the precision coaxial lines as immittance standards. This paper has been prepared to alleviate this situation by providing graphs from which the electrical parameters of the lines may be determined rapidly and accurately."

Abstract: A rotary kiln was evaluated for the controlled oxidations of UC.

Introduction: The objective of the study was to estimate the worldwide distribution of a few broad categories of naturally occurring materials found on the land surface of the earth.

Report presenting a state-of-the-art survey of automatic indexing systems and experiments. It was conducted by the Research Information Center and Advisory Service on Information Processing, Information Technology Division, Institute for Applied Technology, National Bureau of Standards. Consideration is first given to indexes compiled by or with the aid of machines, including citation indexes. Advantages, disadvantages, and possibilities for modification and improvement are discussed. Experiments in automatic assignment indexing are summarized. Related research efforts in such areas as automatic classification and categorization, computer use of thesauri, statistical association techniques, and linguistic data processing are described. A major question is that of evaluation, particularly in view of evidence of human inter-indexer inconsistency. It is concluded that indexes based on words extracted from text are practical for many purposes today.

The following report presents the results of an engineering design study performed to investigate the potential and feasibility of a deep-pool reactor concept for ultimate use as an economic heat source for a single-purpose desalting plant.

From Abstract: "The data obtained at the National Bureau of Standards on the sound insulating properties of building structures are summarized. A brief description of the sound-measuring techniques is given."

Introduction: The Mobile Gamma Irradiator is a semi-production demonstration unit capable of being transported from one area to another for use in irradiating fruit and farm produce, with the capability of furnishing dosages in the pasteurization range.

Quarterly report regarding the activities of the Saxton Plutonium Program, the purpose of which is gathering information and analyzing performance through design, fabrication, and operation of plutonium enriched fuel in a pressurized water reactor system in the Saxton Reactor.

"Properly designed and fitted respirators have been effective devices for reducing the inhalation of toxic aerosols. The degree of protection afforded by these devices has not been quantitatively measured under actual work conditions except by bioassay or other elaborate techniques. This report describes a new quantitative technique for evaluating over-all respiratory performance under conditions comparable to exposure to highly toxic radioactive materials such as plutonium and non-radioactive materials such as beryllium."

Report describing Hanford Laboratories' second report regarding thin wall tubing tests. This part covers "the production [of] test equipment developed, its operation, and test results" (p. 2).

Abstract: The results of three separate inpile capsule experiments are presented.

Quarterly progress report metallurgy research operation at Hanford Atomic Products Operation in Richland, Washington.

Progress report for the Piqua Reactor Operations Analysis Program describing observations and analyses at the Piqua Nuclear Power Facility (PNPF). The program goals are to monitor operations and collect data in order to ensure that the plant's operation is safe, to improve design and performance, to evaluate the performance and lifetime of the plant's components and systems, to evaluate plant safety and safeguards, and to disseminate all information to the scientific community.

Abstract: An experimental and analytical research program is described which is designed to meet certain specific needs for data and methods required to make improved predictions of transient voids, burnout, flow, and fuel temperature during extreme accidents in sodium-cooled reactors.

Report evaluating the design characteristics and limitations of fixed blankets for breeder reactors. This also includes economic considerations for each tested blanket.

Systems for circulation control, book ordering, journal renewal, printing a book catalog, preparing monthly acquisitions lists.

Calculations of the photonuclear giant resonance according to the Wilkinson model are presented in this report. In this model the giant resonance in the cross section for absorption of gamma rays by nuclei is ascribed to the excitation of large numbers of nucleons in closed shells. The model generally predicts correctly the integrated cross section for the giant resonance, bu the resonance energy is too low. Results are presented in a series of tables and formulas so that the integrated cross section may be calculated for any given nucleus.
