A demonstration of the disposal of high-level radioactive waste solids to be carried out in a salt mine at Lyons, Kansas, will have as its objectives: (1) the demonstration of required waste-handling equipment and techniques, (2) the determination of the stability of salt under the influence of heat and radiation, and (3) the collection of information on creep and plastic flow of salt which is needed for the design of an actual disposal facility. As presently conceived, 14 irradiated fuel assemblies from the Engineering Test Reactor will serve as a source of radiation in lieu of actual solidified wastes. The assemblies will be placed in a circular array of holes in the floor with one can in the center and other six cans located peripherally, spaced 5 ft on centers. During the course of the 2-year test, four sets of assemblies will be used to achieve a peak dose to the salt of about 8 x 10/sup 8/ rad and the temperature of the adjacent salt will be maintained at 200 deg C with electrical heaters. A second array, consisting only of heaters, will be operated as a control to determine those effects due solely to heat. In addition to …

The coolant recirculation system in the Pathfinder reactor comprises three mixed-flow centrifugal pumps and three piping loops. The design criteria are summarized; and flexibility and stress analyses on the piping are presented, together with a vibration analysis of one pump and loop. The results indicate that vibration should be no problem, that all stresses are within the allowable limits, and that there should be no resonance difficulties during pump operation. (D.C.W.)

During this period, continued effort has been placed on the fabrication of high burnup irradiation test specimens, on additional UO2-PuO2 and PuO2 sintering, on oxygen diffusion and thermal expansivity measurements using UO2-PuO2, and on the preparation of reproducible PuO2 powder.

As specified in PITA IP-26-I, a test has been conducted at DR reactor to find the amount of nonpressure sensitive air entering the reactor, and gain other information on the reactor gas system. The purpose of this document is to place in effect interim normal gas purity limits and define assuredly positive gas system pressure based on the results of this test.

Nuclear excavation is the name given to the concept of using large scale nuclear explosion craters for useful projects, such as harbors, canals, and roadway cuts. It is one of the principal applications of the Plowshare Program for industrial, or peaceful, uses of nuclear explosives. Plowshare is sponsored by the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission and is under the technical direction of the Lawrence Radiation Laboratory at Livermore, California. The purpose of this paper is to describe cratering concepts and the present state of nuclear excavation technology. The general nature of the safety hazards associated with nuclear excavation are also discussed.

Photocopy of a report addressed to Captain W. P. Gannaway of the Dallas Police Department. The report, which was submitted by detective Bob K. Carroll, states that Marlyn Owens (also known as Diane Hunter) worked for Jack Ruby as an exotic dancer for three years. She said that Jack Ruby fired her every so often due to a bad temper, but had always hired her back soon after.

Criminal intelligence report regarding an interview with Thomas M. and Natalie Ray. The Rays were friends of Lee Harvey Oswald and allowed him to stay at their home a few days prior to the assassination of President Kennedy. They stated that they first met Oswald at a part given at Mr. Declan Ford's home.

Report evaluating the design characteristics and limitations of mobile blankets for breeder reactors. This also includes economic considerations for each tested blanket. Appendices begin on page 40.

This report presents a design of a two-point liquid level controller for cryogenic liquids in the range of 7°R (liquid helium) to 160° (liquid oxygen) that uses carbon composition resistors for the sensing elements.

During this period, plutonium wire was extruded and three crystal growing tests were performed in the modified Andrade apparatus. In addition, continued effort has been placed on the fabrication of the high burnup irradiation test specimens, on additional UO2-PuO2 sintering studies and on oxygen diffusion and thermal expansivity measurements.
