In order to obtain access to a computer from ordinary NDT instruments, a special interface was made which acts as the buffer between the computer, and the real world. The special purpose interface, which was designed and built by Group M-1 of the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory is described. This interface was primarily built for use with various ultrasonic equipment, but is actually a general purpose system that can perform data acquisition and control for other tests.

This Gruy Federal Type I-A prospect was drilled as the Union Oil Company of California, Dr. M.O. Miller No. 1 and is located in Section 34, T15S, R5W, Cameron Parish, Louisiana. The land belongs to the heirs of Dr. Miller and is unleased. The well site is approximately 350 feet southwest of the northwest corner of Section 34 and approximately 4,000 feet south-southeast of Prospect L-3, Buttes Gas and Oil Co. et al., Gladys McCall No. 1. The former well site is accessible by approximately 2.8 miles of canal levee on which a board road would have to be constructed. In addition, there are two wooden bridges in fair condition to be crossed which will require minor repairs. The well was drilled to a total depth of 18,158 feet and plugged and abandoned as a dry hole mid 1965.

This specification defines the requirements for the Intermediate-Size Inducer Pump (ISIP), which is to be made by replacing the impeller of the FFTF Prototype Pump with a new inducer, impeller, diffuser, seal, and necessary adapter hardware. Subsequent testing requirements of the complete pump assembly are included.

Lists of documents exchanged during the second half of 1977 under agreements between the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission's Office of Nuclear Regulatory Research and the governments of France, Federal Republic of Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom are presented. During this period, the NRC received 1 report from France, 40 from the Federal Republic of Germany, and 11 from Japan, and in return sent 112 U.S. reports to each of these three countries and 23 reports to the United Kingdom.

A weekly publication, the Texas Register serves as the journal of state agency rulemaking for Texas. Information published in the Texas Register includes proposed, adopted, withdrawn and emergency rule actions, notices of state agency review of agency rules, governor's appointments, attorney general opinions, and miscellaneous documents such as requests for proposals. After adoption, these rulemaking actions are codified into the Texas Administrative Code.

A bench-scale incinerator for the investigation of unusual particulate and gaseous radioactive material in the incinerator off-gas was assembled and equipment checkout was begun. Modifications to a glovebox to be used for the demonstration phase of incinerator-ash immobilization are approximately 80% completed with demonstration to begin next quarter. The curing time for ash-cement pressed pellets was optimized by periodic crush-strength testing of open-air and underwater cured samples. Leach tests were performed at 70 and 100/sup 0/C to simulate normal and extreme storage conditions. Long-term leach tests were initiated on plutonium-238 doped ash-cement pressed pellets in distilled water at ambient temperature. Pressed pellets of bone char, ash, and sludge-ash in several mixtures were fabricated and tested to establish pressing and curing parameters. Leach tests were also performed on bone char-cement pressed pellets. Curing studies have been conducted on the pressed pellet matrix to define differences between curing in the open atmosphere and under water. Leachability studies have been initiated on the pressed pellet ash/cement matrix in distilled water at ambient, 70 and 100/sup 0/C. Also, leachability studies on doped plutonium-238 pressed ash/cement pellets and pressed bone char/cement pellets in distilled water at ambient temperature have been conducted. Compressive strengths of bone …
