Expressions are presented for the electric and magnetic fields due to a pulse of charge, which may be oscillating transversely while moving down an infinitely long highly conducting pipe of circular cross section. The expressions are evaluated at large distances from the pulse and the fields are shown to decrease algebraically in the distance behind the pulse. In the absence of transverse oscillations the longitudinal electric field varies as the inverse three-halves power of the distance; in the presence of oscillations the dominant field component is the transverse magnetic field, which decreases as the inverse one-half power. In the long-range limit the amplitude of the fields is proportional to the square root of the wall resistivity. The phase of the field associated with the oscillating pulse is shown to be the phase of the pulse at the time when it passed the point of observation.

A method for determining numerically local minima of differentiable functions of several variables is described. In the process of locating each minimum, a matrix which characterizes the behavior of the function about the minimum is determined. For a region in which the function depends quadratically on the variables, no more than N iterations are required, where N is the number of variables. By suitable choice of starting values and without modification of the procedure, linear constraints can be imposed upon the variables. 8 figures.

A thermal analysis is carried out to determine the temperature distribution throughout a SNAP 10A reactor core, particularly in the vicinity of the grid plates, during atmospheric reentry. The transient temperatue distribution of the grid plate indicates when sufficient melting occurs so that fuel elements are free to be released and continue their descent individually.

Station 1A was the emplacement hole for the nuclear device used in the Advanced Research Project Agency's and U.S. Atomic Energy Commission's 5-kT nuclear Salmon Event of October 22, 1964. The hole penetrated the Pascagoula and Hattiesburg Formations, undifferentiated, and the Catahoula Sandstone, all of Miocene age, before entering the caprock at a depth of 882 feet. In continued through the calcite, gypsum, and anhydrite units of the caprock, which extend to a depth of 1,469.5 feet, and terminated in the salt stock at a depth of 2,802 feet. Five sand aquifer units lie above the caprock, whereas one sand aquifier lies within the calcite unit of the caprock. Drilling activities did not cause noticeable water-level fluctuations in the sand aquifers; however, during drilling in the calcite caprock, drilling fluid losses twice caused significant but temporary rises in water level in three observation wells that monitor the calcite limestone aquifer. The microscopic examination of drill cuttings collected at 10-foot intervals to a depth of 1,220 feet in Station 1A is presented. 2 figures, 1 table.

A survey has been conducted of current methods of disposal of radioactive, chemical, and sanitary wastes used both at the 100 Area and 300 Area sites of N Reactor Department Operations. In addition, liquid storage facilities have been surveyed for situations which might result in river water pollution. The survey and this report have been prepared in response to the request of the Manager, Richland Operations Office of the Atomic Energy Commission in accordance with Executive Order 11258. An audit of N Reactor Department waste disposal procedures and practices was recently made. The audit report provides detailed data on effluent streams, methods,d and sampling points. Therefore, this report does not include that information and instead provides a summary of experimental and analytical data which have become available since the audit. It also includes information developed in response to specific provisions set forth in the Executive Order.

This report, from the Chemical Processing Department at HAPO for January 1966, discusses the following: Production operation; Purex and Redox operation; Finished products operation; maintenance; Financial operations; facilities engineering; research; and employee relations.

This document summarizes the amounts of radioactive contamination discharged to ground from chemical separations and laboratory facilities through December 1965. Detailed data for individual disposal sites are presented on a month-to-month basis for the period of January through December 1965. Previous publications of this series are listed in the bibliography and may be referred to for specific information on measurements and radioactivity totals prior to January 1965. Several changes in crib nomenclature were made during 1965. These changes are noted on the individual tables so reference may be made to them in previous reports.
