Annual progress report of safety program for several laboratory divisions.

From introduction: "This report has been prepared in conjunction with the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) Follow-On Study. It is the Concept I description of Task I as outlined by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in Appendix C of their Follow-On Study Program."

Report issued by the Argonne National Laboratory discussing the PACER-65 computer program. As stated in the summary, the program "has been developed and utilized for flow sheet calculations and process-data reduction. PACER-65 is an executive program in which material- and energy-balance equations, conversion factors, etc., for each processing step are described by separate subroutines" (p. 5). This report includes tables, and illustrations.

From abstract: "A previous study of equipment necessary for clean-up following a nuclear accident indicated a need for a portable television system capable of operating in hazardous environments during recovery operations. A system to accomplish this is described and justified in this study."

Quarterly progress report on metallurgy research operations at Hanford Atomic Products Operation in Richland, Washington.

Quarterly progress report on a project to test the radiation effects on metallurgy.

Report presenting research and development activities in the field of radioactive wastes. This particular report is concerned with the fixation of radioactive residues when the failure of a pot liner destroyed the furnace.

Report describing a set of high-precision routines for the IBM 7090 that perform efficiently the calculations most often required on axially symmetric magnetic systems. The routines compute the vector potential, field components, and the mixed gradient for current systems and for certain idealized distributions of magnetized matter. The programs for the current systems were developed from a set of six equations in elliptic integrals, which suffice when correlations are fully exploited for all the relevant properties of loops and solenoids.

Report that summarizes multiple laboratories' reports on global fallout deposition. Reports include data on Strontium-90 deposition recorded by the Health and Safety Laboratory, data from other laboratories, related interpretive reports, and recent publications related to fallout.

Report surveying the "[i]nstrumentation and control practices at the Hanford Plant, the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant, the Oak Ridge national Laboratory, and the Savannah River Plant" (p. iv).

Report issued by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory discussing techniques to obtain measurements of alpha for enriched uranium. Descriptions of equipment and experiments used to obtain alpha are presented. This report includes tables, and illustrations.

Report issued by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory discussing optical mapping of experiment tubes. Descriptions of experiment equipment, and designs of the tubes are presented. This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.

Report concerning the production of gamma ray spectra of gamma rays by the interaction of ~160-MeV protons with beryllium, carbon, oxygen, Aluminum, carbon monoxide, and bismuth. This also includes descriptions of the apparatus used and a discussion of the results.

Abstract: The tensile and yield strengths of both cast and wrought uranium discs were substantially increased by explosively impacting them at room temperature and at 375 deg F. However, the room-temperature impacting caused gross damage in the cast material and slight internal damage in the wrought material at the highest impacting pressures. Impacting at 375 deg F, which is just above the brittle-ductile transition temperature for uranium, was the most effective method for increasing the strengths with no damage to either the cast or wrought material. This impacted material retained some of its increased strength after a low temperature (425 deg C) vacuum anneal that greatly increased the elongation. A salt anneal caused a partial recrystallization in the impacted cast uranium. (auth).

This report defines in detail the source of the dose rate of U233 and describes a method by which they may be predicted.

Report that summarizes multiple laboratories' reports on global fallout deposition. Reports include data on Strontium-90 deposition recorded by the Health and Safety Laboratory, data from other laboratories, related interpretive reports, and recent publications related to fallout.
