Report combining National Bureau of Standards Monograph 27 with the references given in Supplement 1 (May 13, 1963) and issued as a single publication to assist users of this material. References concern the field of temperature measurement. These references were collected from two general sources: Scientific and technical literature and government reports. References are divided into a number of categories based on the type of instrument used. Some references to calibration of instruments and to scientific theories upon which temperature measurement is based are also presented.

The production reactors operated by Douglas United Nuclear, Inc., use treated Columbia River water as the coolant on a once-through basis. Thus, radionuclides formed largely by the neutron activation of river salts are discharged to the river. One method of reducing the quantity of radionuclides in the effluent is to increase the efficiency of parent isotope removal during the coolant treatment process. It was recognized that an alum feed rate of 18 ppM is not necessarily optimum throughout the year. During certain periods it may be well in excess of requirements and overfeeding could be as detrimental to efficient parent isotope removal as underfeeding. Thus, a continuing effort has been underway to find a method for controlling alum feed rate to an optimum value. Flocculent feed rate control based on producing a constant value of the electrokinetic charge (zeta potential) of the floc has been practiced at some water treatment, plants. Although the hypothesis has not had universal acceptance in the water treatment field, laboratory and field data accumulated at Hanford indicated that further evaluation of the approach was warranted. In order to determine the effects of coagulant control based on zeta potential a half-reactor test was initiated at C …

From Introduction: "This symposium focuses attention on the growing awareness of the necessity for developing and using better methods for characterizing solids. Many of the most interesting properties of solids depend directly upon these small concentrations of impurities and defects, and the illustration of this is a principal theme of this paper."

This report addresses the coolant pressure drop and enthalpy rise equations for the phoebus-2 nozzle.

This study investigates the cost of shutting down and later starting up the Hanford production complex. Also included are comments on two aspects, other than cost, which are consider to be of great importance. One is the impact of a complete shutdown on the Tri-Cities community. The other is the effect on Battelle`s Pacific Northwest Laboratory. This study encompasses six special shutdown-startup cases. One set of three cases assumes a shutdown of three years; the other set assumes the reactors have been down for a period of five years (from shutdown of the last reactor to startup of the first conventional reactor in the series). within each of the above mentioned sets there are three cases assuming the return of five, six, or seven reactors to weapons production. The sixth and seventh reactors are D and DR respectively. N Reactor is assumed transferred to WPPSS instead of shutdown, and consequently is available for recapture earlier than the conventional reactors. The shutdown schedule is shown in Table IA. The dates, except for the shut down of D Reactor, were picked arbitrarily and can be moved ahead so long as the intervals are kept the same. There is one exception to this …

This document shows the status of production test control tube loadings (at Hanford) in reactor process tubes containing significant amounts of SS materials. This information is entirely numerical and is presented in the form of computer printouts. For additional information on the column headings and the current discharge goal plan, refer to document DUN-1048.

This paper describes procedures which relate to the process of extracting tritium from irradiated lithium aluminate target elements.

This report attempts to summarize Soviet strategic doctrine, cite possible arguments for and against Soviet ABM deployment by Soviet and Western specialists.

From Introduction Purpose and Scope of Report: "This report is one of a series prepared for the Research Information Center and Advisory Service on Information Processing (RICASIP), and intended as a contribution to improved cooperation in the fields of information selection systems development, information retrieval research and mechanized translation."

Report discussing the selection, specifications, and use of signal-light colors. It discusses the nature of the problem, and the mathematical representation, recognition, production, control, and use of such colors. The characteristics of different types of chromaticity boundaries and the purpose and effect of the requirement for similarity of chromaticity characteristics are given special consideration. The treatment is varied according to the intended use. The discussion of the control of colors and the section on the use of colors are nontechnical, whereas the section on the production of signal colors is designed for the colorimetrist who is faced with the problem of selecting limit filters or drafting a specification.

Report discussing microwave attenuation measurement methods and standards. In addition, a relatively new and more precise way of representing and analyzing an attenuation measurement is presented. This in turn permits more rigorous definitions and error analyses than were previously possible. The referral of microwave attenuation measurements to standards operating at lower frequencies is discussed with particular attention to the errors in the referral processes as well as the errors in the standards themselves. Desirable characteristics are listed for attenuators which are suitable for calibration. Measurement methods are classified and described. Comments are made on the accuracy and convenience of various methods, and references are given which cover most of the basic and important research in this field. Key words: Microwave, attenuation, measurements, standards, tutorial.

This report consists of a study of the nominating systems of the United states.
