Report discussing the probable impact of urban development on the magnitude and frequency of flooding in the lower reaches of the Walnut Creek basin. (from Abstract)

A standard input format for nuclear structure data is described. The format is sufficiently structured that bulk data can be entered efficiently. At the same time, the structure is open-ended and can accommodate most measured or deduced quantities that yield nuclear structure information. (JFP)

This status report includes brief reports on measurements and calculations of quantities for nuclear data applications and data for reactor safety. Separate abstracts were prepared for those items with a significant amount of data. (RWR)

It is pointed out that corrections due to the Coulomb-nuclear interference could amount to an order of 1 to 2 mb at P/sub lab/ around 1 GeV/c in recently performed measurements of the pp-total cross section difference in pure spin states.

This case study examines the reclamation practices of the Georgia Kaolin's American Industrial Clay Company Division, a kaolin producer centered in Twiggs, Washington, and Wilkinson Counties, Georgia. The State of Georgia accounts for more than one-fourth of the world's kaolin production and about three-fourths of U.S. kaolin output. The mining of kaolin in Georgia illustrates the effects of mining and reclaiming lands disturbed by area surface mining. The disturbed areas are reclaimed under the rules and regulations of the Georgia Surface Mining Act of 1968. The natural conditions influencing the reclamation methodologies and techniques are markedly unique from those of other mining operations. The environmental disturbances and procedures used in reclaiming the kaolin mined lands are reviewed and implications for planners are noted.

A boundary-value problem for the Tricomi equation is studied in connection with transonic gas dynamics. The transformed equation ..delta..u + (1/3 Y) u/sub Y/ = 0 in canonical coordinates is considered in the complex domain of two independent complex variables. A boundary-value problem is then set by prescribing the real part of the solution on the boundary of the real unit circle. The Dirichlet problem in the upper unit semicircle with vanishing values of the solution at Y = 0 is solved explicitly in terms of the hypergeometric function for the more general Euler--Poisson--Darboux equation. An explicit representation of the solution is also given for a mixed Dirichlet and Neumann problem for the same equation and domain. Reflection rules are given for these solutions which permit one to extend them from the upper to the lower unit semicircle. The transonic boundary-value problem is solved by expressing the solution as a linear combination of these two types of solutions. 1 figure, 28 references.

Methods used for measurements of water current velocity, temperature gradients, pressure gradients, and sea level in the vicinity of Onslow Bay, North Carolina are discussed. Some data obtained during the summer of 1976 are included.

A single-unit electron beam accelerator was designed, fabricated, and assembled in Sandia's Technical Area V to conduct magnetically insulated transmission experiments. Results of these experiments will be utilized in the future design of larger, more complex accelerators. This design makes optimum use of existing facilities and equipment. When designing new components, possible future applications were considered as well as compatibility with existing facilities and hardware.

Heavy-ion bombardment provides a method for simulating neutron damage to metals and other materials. Simultaneous implantation of He/sup +/ ions allows the study of effects of neutronically generated helium in these samples. A 2-MeV Van de Graaff and a 2-MeV tandem accelerator at Battelle, Pacific Northwest Laboratories (PNL) have been combined to provide dual-beam irradiation with heavy ions, Ni/sup + +/ or Ta/sup + +/, and with He/sup +/ ions. This irradiation facility allows independent control of beam currents and energies for both heavy-ion and helium-ion beams, as well as sample temperatures to 1200/sup 0/C. It will be used both for investigation of materials for advanced reactor applications and for basic studies of radiation damage mechanisms. Preliminary results on molybdenum irradiated to two dose levels at 1000/sup 0/C, with and without simultaneous helium implantation, show the effect of helium on void nucleation. When helium is continuously implanted, the number of voids increases with dose. Without helium, existing voids grow in size but the number is unchanged. At higher heavy-ion dose rates, this effect of helium is less pronounced.
