The results of the fall-out monitoring program at fixed stations more than 200 miles from the test site following the series of atomic tests in Nevada during the spring of 1952 are shown in a series of maps. Trajectories of debris from the individual bursts are given, together with a discussion of meteorological phenomena associated with the transport of atomic debris.

The objective of the production test described in this report is to provide the authority and mechanism to remove process tubes from the piles for inspection. The test is intended to provide a more positive tube inspection program than was previously provided under production test number 105-9-P, ``Corrosion of Slugs and Tubes``, document number 7-3928.

The following document describes data collected from a 14-month period of analyzing crustaceans containing radioactivity. Provided is information based on the change of radioactivity through seasonal changes.

Fragments of radioactive materials were deposited in the Redox area during August, 1953. By radiation monitoring, the location, physical properties, and dosage were determined. The cause was assumed to be the buildup of ammonium nitrate containing ruthenium on the filters of the Redox stack. The amount of occupational exposure, and the reasons why this incident happened were also discussed.

Introduction: "The problem of determining the properties and necessary controls on the TBP Plant waste disposal to eliminate transport line plugging and to permit higher concentration prior to return of this to the tank farms was studied. A report of preliminary findings was made to L. W. Finsh on January 31, 1953. This report compiles information in the aforementioned report and findings since its issuance. Previous studies related to this problem are summarized in the U. R. Technical Manual, HW-19140."

Analysis indicates that, in order to achieve supersonic flight with nuclear powered aircraft, a reactor -power plant combination capable of operating at temperatures considerably in excess of current practice must be developed. It is pointed out that there exist two general avenues of approach toward the goal of attaining high temperature reactors and power plants. The first approach involves the continuation and augmentation of research along the lines pursued by the conventional turbo-jet engine manufacturer, namely a search for material coatings or materials that will retain structural strength in high temperature oxidizing atmospheres. The second approach seeks to take advantage of the peculiar characteristics of the compressor-jet engine that permit the operation of the high temperature components in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. The results of a preliminary design study of a supersonic aircraft powered by a high temperature sodium, liquid vapor compressor -jet engine are summarized. The analysis considered, in as much detail as was warranted by the limited experimental information available, the characteristics of the reactor, power plant and airframe involved in determining performance. This study has been conducted for the purpose of guiding future, long -t e r rn , research work along the lines of high temperature reactors …

Memorandum presenting an icing investigation conducted to determine the general de-icing and runback characteristics of three production samples of electric rubber-clad cyclic de-icing boots. The overall de-icing characteristics of two of the boots investigated were quite similar. Results regarding boot surface temperatures and general de-icing and runback characteristics are provided.

Report presenting data from an investigation of the effects of slot location and slot geometry on the flow in a square tunnel for a Mach number range up to 1.4. Calculated static-pressure and angle-of-flow distributions along the slotted boundary are presented for several slot configurations in a tunnel with two opposite walls slotted.

From Summary: "Pressure distributions and force characteristics have been determined for a body of revolution consisting of a fineness ratio 5.75, circular-arc, ogival nose tangent to a cylindrical afterbody for an angle-of-attack range of 0 degrees to 35.5 degrees. The free-stream Mach number was 1.98 and the free-stream Reynolds number was approximately 0.5 x 10 sup 6, based on body diameter. Comparison of the theoretical and experimental pressure distributions shows that for zero lift, either slender-body theory or higher-order theories yield results which are in good agreement with experiment."

"An attempt is made to describe the phenomenological differences between stall flutter and buffeting. Some experimental results are presented concerning both the boundaries at which these phenomena occur and the stresses involved" (p. 1).

Memorandum presenting tests in the 9-inch supersonic tunnel of three bomb or store shapes without fins and with two sets of cruciform fins. Measurements of normal force, chord force, and pitching moment were made; analyses of the effects of angle of attack and Reynolds number on these qualities and also upon center-of-pressure position and fin effectiveness are presented.

Report presenting an investigation of the flow field behind triangular wings alone and in combination with a pointed cylindrical body at Mach numbers of 1.5 and 2.0 through an angle-of-attack range of 0 to 24 degrees.
