Document issued by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas in Austin, Texas, providing an interpretation of Texas law. It provides the opinion of the Texas Attorney General, Will Wilson, regarding a legal question submitted for clarification: Whether a Justice of the Peace is entitled to receive a $4.00 trial fee for each criminal case filed in his court and dismissed at the request of the county attorney and related questions.

EQUIPOISE-3 is an IBM-7090 FORTRAN programmed code for the solution of two-group, two-dimensional, neutron diffusion equations. A maximum of 2l00 mesh points may be used, and the code will solve problems in either rectangular or cylindrical geometry. Logarithmic derivative boundary conditions are allowed, and removal of neutrons from both groups is permitted. Adjoint fluxes with the associated fluxadjoint flux regional integrals may be calculated automatically if desired. A constant buckling, group-dependent buckling, or region-dependent buckling may be specified for rectangular geometry. This program is intended to fill the need for a rapid two-dimensional calculation suitable for survey calculations. During the iterative part of the computations, all operations are carried out in the core memory. The magnetic tape memory is used only for input, output, and program storage. The running time for a 1000-point problem requiring 100 iterations would be about 3 min.(auth)

Recovery of Th (and U) from Granitic Rock. Recovery of Th by acid leaching ten addltlonal granite samples (36 to 82 ppm Th) from the Conway formation in N. H. ranged from about 50 to 85%, and averaged about 70%, Study of the effect of grind size on the recovery of Th from Conway and Plkes Peak granites showed no significant differences in the range minus 20 to minus 200 mesh. The Th concentration in a sized Conway granite sample was found to be much greater in the fine than in the coarse fractions, whereas Pikes Peak granite showed only slight Th enrichment in the finer fractions. U recoveries in acid leaching of four different granite samples were not improved by adding an oxidant. Collection and Analysis of Granite Samples. A field survey of the Conway granite formations in N. H. was made. Preliminary analysis of the data indicates that the accessible surface of the Conway granite averages at least 40 ppm Th. Collection and Analysis of Lateritic Soils. The Th concentration ranged 5 to 16 ppm in twenty-two samples of sub-lateritic soil from Miss., Ala., Ga., and Va. Final Cycle Pu Recovery by Amine Extraction. In continued batch countercurrent …

The TWENTY GRAND program for the IBM 7090 is capable of solving neutron diffusion problems in cylindrical or slab geometry for one to six groups. Up to 3000 mesh points may be used. Neutron transfer from any group to any other group is permitted. Leakage in the third dimension in X-Y geometry may be treated by a buckling which can vary with region and group. Three types of symmetry conditions may be handled automatically. The zero flux, zero derivative, and logarithmic boundary conditions are available. Normalization of fluxes to an arbitrary input power is allowed. The fission source distribution and the adjoint fluxes and associated integrals may be computed at the user's option. The number of mesh sweeps permitted is stated as input. The average running time in seconds per iteration per group is approximately 0.0035. (auth)
