Biological Effects of Blast. Technical Progress Report
The current state of knowledge relevant to biological blast effects was summarized in a selective manner. Initially, five problems of concern to those who would relate the environmental variations produced by nuclear weapons with biological response and hazard assessment were pointed out. Primary, secondary, tertiary, and miscellaneous blast effects were defined and selected interspecies experimental data of a physical and pathophysiological nature useful in estimating human response were presented. Tentative biological criteria defining safe levels of exposure were set forth as were survival curves for different conditions of exposure in Hiroshima. These were discussed along with the comparative variations in range of the free-field effects as they vary with explosive yield. The fundamental requirement for surviving seconds, minutes, and hours to abet survival for days, weeks, months, and years was emphasized along with the necessity for planning protective measures against all hazardous weapons effects as one attractive alternative for minimizing casualties and maximizing survival in the event of a nuclear war.

Adsorption of Krypton and Xenon by Various Materials
The adsorptive capacities of various inorganic adsorbents and activated charcoals for krypton and xenon were determined. Columbia-G activated charcoal had the highest capacity for both krypton and xenon at pressures from 0.01 to 125 mm Hg and temperaturens from 2 to 85 deg C. If a value of 1 is assigned to the capacity of this charcoal at 28 deg C for krypton, other charcoals range from 0.63 to 0.84, molecular sieves (except 4A) from 0.11 to 0.20, and some silica genls from 0.05 to 0.07. Various othenr adsorbennts, including one variety of silica gel and molecular sieve 4A, range from 0.005 to 0.032. Molecular sienve 5A and Columbia-G charcoal adsorbed 11.5 times more xenon than krypton. Adsorption of 7.5% water by either of these adsorbents lowerend their capacity for krypton 25 to 30%, while saturating the sieve material ( approximates 15% H2O) lowered the krypton capacity 80%.

Heat Transfer With Laminar Flow in Concentric Annuli With Constant and Arbitrary Variable Axial Wall Temperature
An analysis has been performed to determine the heat transfer characteristics for laminar forced-convection flow in a concentric annulus with prescribed surface temperatures. Three distinct problems were considered: (a) wall temperature prescribed at both the inside and outside wall; (b) inside wall temperature prescribed and the outside wall insulated; and (c) inside wall insulated and outside wall temperature prescribed. The solution for temperature distribution was similar to that obtained by Graetz for laminar heat convection in a pipe with uniform wall temperature. Expressions are presented for heat flux, mixing cup temperature, and Nusselt number as a function of downstream position. Eigenvalues and eigenfunctions were computed for values of the ratio of the inside to the outside radii for the boundary conditions. Mixing cup temperatures, local and fully developed Nusselt numbers, and thermal entry lengths are presented graphically. The solution of Problem (a) was extended to the situation in which the temperatures of the inside and outside walls of the annulus are not equal. By utilizing the method of superposition and the solutions already obtained for Problem (a), the temperature distributions were determined. By way of illustration, heat fluxes were calculated for several values of the temperature ratio (T/sub wi/-T/sub 0/)/(T …

WEATHER MODIFICATION
It is suggested that applying heat directly to a rain cloud, or to a ndoist air mass with rain potential, may alter the natural precipitation in a given geographical region. The immediate effect of the heat is to increase the buoyancy of the cloud or air parcel. The result, which depends on a number of interrelated factors may be either to cause precipitation where it would not naturally occur, or to suppress precipitation where it would naturally occur. Several possible applications are suggested. Since the heat supplied is supplemented by the latent heat resulting from condensation in the moist air mass, the results may more than justify the cost. However, substantial amounts of heat are involved. The heat can be supplied from fossil fuels, nuclear reactions, or a combination of both; but the logistics favor the use of large nuclear reactors wherever safety criteria can be met. Not only the efficiency and economics of the process, but also its feasibility, can be finally decided only on the basis of information that is not now available. (auth)

Phase Transformations in Alumina. Technical Report, May to December 1961
e transformation studies showed that synthetic aluminas produced in the laboratory were not transformed to alpha alumina at 400 to 700' deg n the presence of nitric acid and water vapor. Amorphous aluminn produced in the pilot plant was transformed to alpha alumina. This indicated that the amorphous alumina produced in the pilot plant is structurally predisposed to form alpha alumina. Most additives did not appear to have any special effects. Lithium formed zeta alumina, LiAl/sub 5/O/sub 8/. Phosphate formed an unidentified phase. Zinc formed zinc aluminate. Sulfate favored higher water and lower nitrate contents than any of the other additives and formed natroalunite in one sample. The synthetic aluminas were heated in the micro reactor at pressures of 150 to 1300 psi. Most of the synthetic aluminas containing sodium formed alpha alumina while those without sodium did not, which agreed with the pilot plant results. Additives which allowed alpha alumina to form were calcium, iron, and lithium. Potassium, silicate, sulfate and zinc allowed alpha alumina to form when sodium was also present. Phosphate, boric acid, and magnesium seemed to prevent the formation of alpha alumina. Fission products, at 10 times the expected amount, also appeared to prevent formation of …

Quarterly Status Report on Ultra High Temperature Reactor Experiment (UHTREX) for Period Ending November 20, 1961
The detailed design of the reactor proper was essentially completed and preparations were made for procurement of the carbon components and the pressure vessel. Design of the UHTREX facility has progressed to Titie lI. Design information is included on copper oxide beds and molecular sieves for gas cleanup. In other work, irradiation of capsules containing UHTREX fuel elements is reported along with fuel recycle research. (J.R.D.) 9578(Faye unscannable abstract)

POSTIRRADIATION EXAMINATION OF 17-4 PH STAINLESS STEEL CONTROL ROD DRIVE RACK FROM SM-1 REACTOR
A portion of the control rod drive system in the SM-1 Reactor, fabricated from l7-4 PH stainless steel, was examined at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) hot cells after successful operation in a pressurized-water environment for approximately three years. Examination included visual inspection, magnetic-particle tests, fluorescent penetrant tests, and metallography. No evidence of stress-corrosion cracking or other damage was noted. (auth)

Irradiation of Metal-Fiber-Reinforced Thoria-Urania. Final Report- Metallurgy Program 6.2.4
Randomly oriented fibers of either molybdenum or niobium were incorporated into hot-pressed pellets of 10, 30, and 50 wt% UO/sub 2/ in ThO/sub 2/ to improve thermal conductivity and thermal shock resistance. Pellets, 9.5 mm in diameter and 9.5 mm in length, were irradiated in NaK capsules, both bare and jacketed with Zircaloy-2, with the annulus between pellet and jacket filled with lead or helium. They were irradiated to burnups ranging up to 34 500 Mwd/T (1 0 x 10/sup 21/ fiss/cc) at central temperatures of the order of 3000 deg C. Integral kd theta values ranged from 34 to 129 w/cm. Fracture and metallographic sections of the irradiated specimens confirmed out-of-pile measurements that the molybdenum fibers increased the effective thermal conductivlty of the mixed oxides. It was possible to give the fibered pellets higher heat ratings than unfibered pellets before comparable thermal effects occurred. The fibers tended to reduce central void formation, retard recrystallization, and maintain the integrlty of the pellet. In some helium- bonded specimens, the molybdenum fibers coalesced into a central sphere after melting during irradiation. The coalescence did not occur in lead-bonded specimens. The niobium fibers were found to react with the oxide. Fission gas release …

ON THE REALITY OF THE EIGEN-VALUES FOR A ONE-GROUP N-REGION DIFFUSION PROBLEM
A sufficient condition is presented for the reality of the eigen-values for a fairly general one-group, multiregion two-dimensional diffusion problem. The condition is also sufficient to insure the orthogonality of eigen-functions corresponding to distinct eigen-values. (D.L.C.)

ACCEPTOR DOPANTS FOR LEAD TELLURIDE
Alternative P-type dopants such as, Th, P, and As were studied. Ingots were grown from a melt containing one at.% dopant and their electrical properties evaluated. Also, sintered pellets of PbTe were doped by exposure at high temperature to gaseous dopants. In most cases, the doping concentrations obtained were insufficient for SNAP 10A requirements. In the case of As, however, doping of Te-rich PbTe, the desired heavy doping was obtained. These preliminary studies suggest that dopants other than Na might be suitable for SNAP 10A requirements.
