A brief review is given of the various self-field phenomena associated with the longitudinal motion of particles in storage rings. Although there are some high-intensity phenomena for which the coupling of longitudinal and transverse motion is essential, such as, for example, the headtail effect; the great majority of high-intensity phenomena primarily involve either longitudinal or transverse degrees of freedom. In this review, we restrict our attention to phenomena which are essentially longitudinal in nature. It is convenient to consider separately the behavior of unbunched (coasting) and bunched (external RF system in operation) beams. Detailed experimental information on coasting beams has been obtained on the ISR, on the (old) CERN electron model CESAR, and on electron ring accelerators. All high-energy electron storage rings have bunched beams and, of course, so do synchrotrons, so that there are a large number of sources of experimental information about the longitudinal motion of bunched beams.

The objective of this research project is to investigate a geothermal anomaly of high heat flow discovered in 1969 in central Montana, and to determine how this natural resource might be developed as a source of useful energy. Under Phase I, the natural resource will be explored, drilled, and modeled at an estimated cost of $2,588,935 over a 3-year period. Phase II, depending upon the nature of the heat source, will be developing the resource under a cooperative effort of government and private industry. This environmental analysis is intended to cover the drilling and logging operations noted under Phase I, the only work being undertaken at this time. As can be seen from Figure 1, further tests may be run at this site in later phases of the study. But since the nature of these tests are highly dependent on the results of Phase I, it is not considered productive to speculate on their environmental impact. As is show, however, any later experiments would cover a range of underground experiments, some of which consume water and others which would produce water. Before a meaningful analysis of such work can be written, it will be necessary to analyze the results of …

From summary: The major objectives of the studies described in this report were to analyse and evaluate a number of significant earthquake records and to utilize the results to develop "standardized" design spectrum shapes to be used in the seismic design of nuclear power plant facilities.

During the quarter covered (October 15, 1972 to February 15, 1973), additional models of the nuclear engine were implanted in calves to evaluate the chronic effects of weight and size. Further characterization of the bench test heart pump was performed, The effect of pump rate on cardiac output was evaluated. The effect of outflow (anterial) pressure on cardiac output was evaluated. Bjork- Shiley valves with stainless steel disks and pyrolitic carbon disks were tested and the effect of cardiac output evaluated. A design of a quick connect system to enable rapid connection of the atrial cuffs and anterial graphs to the blood pump was undertaken. Molds of the implantable version of the ventricles were completed, and construction techniques and evaluation of the ventricles is now in progress. A protocol for the implantation of the pump mechanism into calves for testing is under consideration. (auth)

A study was conducted to determine the seismic effects on the containment structure of a proposed underground reactor facility. Simplified and often inadequate building code equivalent static design procedures frequently used for conventional reactor systems are not adequate for partially buried or fully buried reactor systems. A sophisticated dynamic analysis which can consider soilstructure interaction effects resulting from both seismic displacements and forces must be employed. One such approach would be to use the finite element method. The results of using such an approach to consider both the static overburden and dynamic earthquake effects on the containment structure of the proposed underground reactor facility are presented.
