A primary factor in assessing the impact on the biosphere of the discharge of heated reactor effluent to the Columbia River is the degree of initial dilution. Each of the reactor effluent lines discharges at the bottom of the river, approximately normal to the current, and near the main channel. As part of the Division of Production research and development program titled ``The Effects of Reactor Effluent on the Quality of Columbia River Water,`` the temperature measurements recorded in this document were taken over a period of several years. Generally, the exact locations of the ends of the effluent lines could not be determined from the river. The intent therefore was to determine the initial degree of dilution at the point where the mixed effluent first reached the surface, the so-called ``bubble,`` over a range of river flow-rates. A secondary goal was to determine the distance downstream (in quarter-mile increments) at which vertical mixing of the effluent streams could be considered complete. The data reported here have been partially reported previously and used in the development of a mathematical model of plume development. The purpose of this document is to provide a record of the field data in more detail …

The results are reported of a literature search for information concerning the heterogeneous, gas phase, catalytic hydrogen-oxygen recombination. Laboratory scale experiments to test the performance of specific metal oxide catalysts under conditions simulating the atmosphere within a nuclear reactor containment vessel following a loss-of-coolant blowdown accident are suggested.
