Report documenting the ongoing progress and economic concerns of Saline Water Conversion Demonstration Plant No. 1 in Freeport, Texas.

A report about selenium and other trace metals in samples from some oxidized sandstone-type uranium deposits that demonstrate that concentrations of as much as 0.1 percent selenium are not uncommon in the immediate vicinity of uranium concentrations.

A report about the lower San Pedro Valley in Arizona. This report shows how mapping discrete units of the valley may lead to a broadened understanding of Cenozoic history of intermontane basins in Arizona.

A report about the Duck Creek Pass quadrangle which forms a large part of the bedrock of western Montana and adjoins other areas in which geologic studies are already completed or in progress.

A report about the Clark Fork quadrangle which is underlain by more than 38,000 feet of low-grade metasedimentary rocks of the Precambrian Belt series. The quadrangle has both metallic and nonmetallic mineral deposits of considerable value.

A report about 100 square miles of metamorphosed Precambrian sedimentary and volcanic rocks in Wyoming. The district in which they are located is known for its gold, but iron deposits of high economic potential are being developed in the northwest part.

From abstract: "This project was a study of electrostatic classification of submicron aerosols. Classification of particles as small as 0.006-[mu]-diameter was shown to be feasible, and good classification of atmospheric dust was achieved. However, a practical solution to the problem of overlapping between particles larger and smaller than 0.1 [mu], the point of minimum electric mobility, was not found."

The following quarterly progress report covers the period from November 16, 1962 to February 15, 1963. This report summarizes three activities that study the ratio of the maximum absorption of the K band to the maximum absorption of the F band has been made in additively colored and [gamma]-irradiated rubidium chloride.

The following quarterly report covers the period during February 16 to May 15, 1963. This report is divided into sections covering the separate activities during this period, studying the thermal behavior of the F-center in RbCl.

This report discusses many low energy neutron capture gamma ray spectra from many elements. Also, a series of neutron capture gamma ray spectra from a wide variety of meteorite and terrestrial rock samples were obtained.

A report focused on obtaining further neutron capture gamma ray spectra for inclusion in the Atlas, and in conducting subsidiary experiments to determine the cause of the anomalous broad peak structure which was reported in ARF 1193-20.

Abstract: "Measurements have been made of the cross sections for the reactions Id-6(n, dn)He-4 and Li-7(n, tn)He-4 over an incident neutron energy range of 5 - 14 MeV. The energy and angular distributions of all reaction products were determined."

Abstract: A large amount of water leaks through the floor of Lake McMillan to underground solution channels or openings in the gypsiferous Seven Rivers Formation.

This is a map of the geology of Jackass Flats quadrangle.

From abstract: This report is on the geologic studies in the U12e.07 tunnel for the purpose of determining the structural features, lithographic character, chemical composition, and physical properties of the tuff exposed in the tunnel.

Abstract: Ground-water test well 2 was drilled to a depth of 3,422 feet with rotary and cable tool drilling equipment.

From introduction: This report summarizes the available hydrologic information for a part of Nevada surrounding the Nevada Test Site. It emphasizes the possibility that ground water may move from one basin to another, whereas the usual concept heretofore has been that the ground water of the region generally occurs in basins that are closed or nearly closed.

Introduction: The United States Atomic Energy Commission is considering the establishment of a townsite in the vicinity of Mercury, Nevada, to facilitate operations at the Nuclear Rocket Development Station on the Nevada Test Site.

From introduction: The present study was undertaken to extend and supplement a mapping program covering several ranges north and northwest of Lake Mead.

From introduction: The pre-shot and postshot mine surveys indicated that no damage attributable to the Shoal event occurred to any of the sixteen private mining properties.

From introduction: This report documents the preshot and postshot condition of all structures within 10 miles of Ground Zero, plus structures at Salt Wells and surface structures at mines that were included in the mine survey.

Abstract: The Bannock overthrust in southeastern Idaho and northcentral Utah was originally described by Richards and Mansfield (1912) as a single large thrust fault that formed at the close of the Laramide orogeny and was folded by renewed compression near the end of Pliocene time. Later Mansfield expanded and revised his interpretation of the Bannock overthrust so that at least the northern part of the overthrust was thought to be a thrust zone in which the individual faults originated in a folded sole thrust. Detailed mapping in areas critical to Richards and Mansfield's interpretations has shown that the faults thought by them to be parts of one large thrust are separate faults, and that, although some of the thrust surfaces are curved, they were not folded in Pliocene time but probably were folded during a late stage of the thrusting. Extensions of the Bannock thrust to the north, south, east, and west based upon extrapolation of a single large folded thrust surface are not warranted. The Bannock overthrust is reinterpreted as a westward-dipping imbricate thrust zone possibly several tens of miles wide extending at least from southwestern Montana to north-central Utah. It is recommended that the name "Bannock overthrust" no …

This technical report is a summary of short time strength data for CS1830 series Cb-1Zr material. The data are presented as a function of fabrication history or the amount of cold work received during fabrication. Three fabrication categories were considered for comparison: forgings and extrusions; bar, plate, rod and pipe; and sheet and tubing. Forgings and extrusions having received no cold work showed the highest strength over the entire temperature range 68F to 2800F; bar, plate, rod and pipe received moderate cold work and showed lower strength than forgings and extrusions but higher strength than sheet and tubing in the temperature range 2000F to 2800F.

From introduction: As a handbook of salmon streams, this catalog is expected to serve as an aid to conservation agencies as well as others who have an interest in the valuable salmon resources of Southeastern Alaska.
