From introduction: This report is a summary of the detailed geologic and engineering information that is available on three sites for underground explosions on the Nevada Test Site.

From introduction: The papers comprising the various parts of this report contain the preliminary results of the U. S. Geological Survey investigations in the Ul2e.05 tunnel at the Atomic Energy Commission's Nevada Test Site, Nye County, Nevada (fig. 1). Reports on electrical resistivity, natural radioactivity, and heat required to raise the rocks to 100C will be issued later. A preliminary report on the geologic effects of the Blanca event is being prepared.

Abstract: The theoretical response of a low-geometry scintillation counter to any photon-emitting nuclide whose decay scheme is known is developed. It is used to compute the counting rate, as a function of time, of (1) individual and total fission products resulting from. 10^4 simultaneous slow-neutron fissions of U^235 and (2) several other nuclides for 10 initial atoms. The calculations extend from ~45 min to 301 days after fission.

Report discussing the mapping of the Monument Valley area in Arizona in order to locate uranium-vanadium deposits, which were localized in strata of the Shinarump member of the Chinle formation of Triassic age that fill ancient scour channels.

The following report discusses technical problems with ion cyclotron waves, and to suggest a possible application to ion magnetron work.

From introduction: "This report deals with a part of the research and development studies which preceded the manufacture of fuel elements for the Gas Cooled Reactor Experiment (GCRE)." The studies evaluate the effects of varying the type and size of UO2 particles, stainless steel matrix powders, blending procedures, compacting pressures, sintering times, temperatures and atmospheres, roll-cladding temperatures and reduction rates, total cold reduction, and heat-treating times and temperatures has been made for UO2 stainless steel dispersion fuel elements."

Presentation at the National Western Mining Conference of the Colorado Mining Association, Denver, Colorado, February 7, 1959. Thank you for your invitation to discuss here today some of the aspects of nuclear explosions in mining and mineral industries. I should like this afternoon to dwell briefly upon: (1) The phenology of a nuclear explosion underground. What happens; with what energies are we concerned, and what may be the scientific and industrial results of such an explosion? (2) The safety or radiological hazards involved. If mining men hope someday to use this new and potentially useful source of packaged power, what are some of the problems we may face? First let me emphasize that the nine underground test explosions thus far have resulted in a wealth of data and interesting information which prove that radioactivity and radioactive fall-out can be completely controlled, that seismic effects are relatively minor, that appreciable amounts of heat and shock are generated, that this power might be utilized to serve a useful purpose and that the debris in an explosion area can be worked soon after the detonation.

The fixation of aqueous radioactive wastes in a stable solid media by means of calcination has been the subject of considerable research and development effort. Several methods of doing this on a continuous basis have been devised and a few have been demonstrated to be feasible for the handling of non-radioactive or low activity simulated wastes. Currently an investigation of calcination by means of radiant-heat spray drying is being carried on by the Chemical Research Operation of the Hanford Laboratories Operation. The process consists of atomizing the liquid to be treated into the top of a cylindrical column, the walls of which are maintained at a high temperature. The resultant suspension of droplets in the water vapor formed by evaporation passes through successive zones of drying, calcination, possible chemical reaction or melting, and partial cooling as it proceeds down the tower. Separation of the resultant solids, steams, and uncondensable gas is made by conventional methods.

Previously, W. S. Figg and T. W. Ambrose (HW-51767 Rev) have investigated the problem of flow decay following electrical power loss to the PRTR primary coolant pumps. However, since the time of their study many reactor piping changes have been made in the design; therefore, it has become advisable to re-examine the problem incorporating these changes.
