The effect of finite resistance in the vacuum-tank walls on the longitudinal stability of an intense beam of particles in an accelerator is investigated theoretically. We show that even if the particle frequency is an increasing function of particle energy, the wall resistance can render the beam unstable against longitudinal bunching. In the absence of frequency spread in the unperturbed beam, the instability occurs with a growth rate that is proportional to (N/{sigma}){sup 1/2}, where N is the number of particles in the beam and {sigma} is the conductivity of the surface material. By means of the Vlasov equation a criterion for beam stability is obtained. In the limit of highly conducting walls the criterion involves the frequency spread in the unperturbed beam, the number of particles N, the beam energy, geometrical properties of the accelerator, but not the conductivity {sigma}. A numerical example presented indicates that certain observations of beam behavior in the MURA 40-Mev-electron accelerator may be related to the phenomenon we investigated.

From abstract: The concept of using high intensity beta radiation from an isotopic source, Sr-90, inside a high temperature, high pressure chemical reactor has been developed for potential radiation chemical processes. Distinct advantages include high utilizable intensity from a relatively small source with a minimum of shielding against external radiation.

From foreword: This study is concerned with the technology of producing fresh potable water from the seas.

This report, for August 1964 from the Chemical Processing Department at HAPO, discusses the following: Production operation; Purex and Redox operation; Finished products operation; maintenance; Financial operations; facilities engineering; research; employee relations; weapons manufacturing operation; and safety and security.

Salt wastes from the Redox solvent extraction process have been routed to the 241-SX tank farm for storage since May 21, 1954. Tanks in this farm contain wastes from three types of irradiated uranium processing: (1) low (approximately 250 MWD/T) and (2) high (approximately 600 MWD/T) natural uranium; and (3) E-metal. It is estimated that approximately 1.6 Kgs of Am-Cm, 17 Kgs of Np-237, 20 Kgs of Pu and 8 tons of uranium are present in the sludges from wastes generated through 4-30-64. A total of 12.1 Kgs of the 29.1 Kgs of Np-237 estimated has been recovered or is present in the Redox Np-237 accumulation cycle as of 4-30-64. Because of the potential for unmeasured losses (such as Pu or U precipitates) the total plutonium and uranium may exceed the quantities stated herein. A breakdown of the estimates by tanks is provided.

The monthly report for the Hanford Laboratories Operation, August 1964. Reactor fuels, chemistry, dosimetry, separation processes, reactor technology, financial activities, biology operation, and physics and instrumentation research, and applied mathematics, and programming operations are discussed.

This document lists all tanks which were active during each month by Waste Farm, which includes all tanks to which additions or subtractions were made. Each type of waste was indicated in each case, along with the nature of transfer and any pertinent remarks. Also reported are gallonage and inches of liquid in each tank.

This interim report details the irradiation testing of co-product fuel-target assemblies in KER loops 3 and 4 which was authorized by PT-IP-645-D. The purpose was to demonstrate and characterize the simultaneous generation of plutonium and tritium during the irradiation of simulated N-Reactor co-product assemblies. Thirteen assemblies, each consisting of a 1.25% enriched outer fuel or driver tube and an inner, coaxial, lithium bearing target rod, were loaded in KER-3 and irradiated to approximately to approximately 1300 MWD/T tube average at N-Reactor conditions. One of the important aspects of the test was the fuel swelling performance in the large, tubular, enriched driver elements. This report describes the fuel swelling behavior of the driver elements.

This report discusses the irradiation testing of thick-walled single-tube, 1.6% enriched test elements (KSE-5`s) in KER loops 1 and 2 to evaluate swelling behavior of uranium at high temperatures. Test charge K-2-21 consisted of four KSE-5`s containing uranium with 400 ppm iron and 800 ppm aluminum. The object of the test irradiation was to establish the swelling performance of the fuel containing the iron-aluminum additions using the N-fuel composition as a reference fuel. This latter fuel has shown good high temperature performance in the British high-temperature gas-cooled reactors, but has not previously been evaluated at ``high`` specific powers in a high-temperature pressurized-water reactor environment.
