The magnitude of the K{sup 0}{sub S} - K{sup 0}{sub L} mass difference has been measured by monitoring the time dependence of the strangeness of neutral K's produced in hydrogen and deuterium in the LRL 25 '' hydrogen bubble chamber. The particles originate as K-bar{sup 0} in K{sup -} change-exchange scatters at .85 to 1.15 Bev/c; the signature for an S = -1 reaction is the production of a hyperon. Seventy- seven events were found, obtaining {Delta}{omega} = 0.50 =- 0.15, measured in units of inverse K{sup 0}{sub S} lifetime. This and two other recent measurements using the same method are consistent with one another and with measurements of {Delta}{omega} by other means. A combined ''world average'' of nine reasonably consistent measurements gives {Delta}{omega} = 0.60 +- 0.06.

A double-focusing magnetic field for a spectrometer of the flat type which gives radial focusing to roughly the sixth order, and which utilizes azimuthal variation of the field coefficients, has been devised.

The transverse electromagnetic coupling of bunches of particles with each other is investigated theoretically, and shown to incorporate the possibility (due to the effect of nonperfectly conducting vacuum chamber walls) of coherent instability even when the longitudinal distance between bunches is much larger than the transverse dimensions of the vacuum tank. The modes of oscillation in which the bunches move rigidly are investigated; criteria for stability, and expressions for the small amplitude growth rates under unstable conditions are presented. The case of a single bunch is considered in detail and demonstrated to be stable (even in the absence of landau damping) provided {nu} lies between an integer and the next higher half-integer, where {nu} is the number of transverse free betatron oscillations occurring in one revolution; for many bunches which are sensibly different in intensity (a criterion for this is presented), all modes are stable provided {nu} satisfies the same restriction. For equally spaced bunches of equal numbers of particles, approximately half the modes are unstable without Landau damping. Numerical examples are presented covering some intermediate situations.

The attached pages show the status of production test control tube loadings in reactor process tubes containing significant amounts of SS materials. For further description of column headings and the current discharge goal exposure plan the reader is referred elsewhere.

Results of an investigation of fuel element outer annulus enthalpy imbalance are reported and analytical results of suggested methods to limit this imbalance are presented. Also included are comparisons of calculated and experimental enthalpy imbalance ratios along with other quantities. Results indicate that tightening fuel tolerances and clearances can substantially reduce the present outer annulus imbalance thereby increasing power capability. A basic pre-requisite to reduction of clearance between fuel support diameter and process tube diameter is a test establishment of the minimum allowable clearance compatible with charging requirements. Matching fuel elements to process tube diameters will also reduce the imbalance but is in general not feasible at the present time.

The thoria program at Hanford was initiated in response to an order placed by the Atomic Energy Commission for the production of uranium-233 from the irradiation of thorium or thorium oxide (thoria). The initial orders called for approximately 130 kg U-233 and subsequent orders have since increased this figure. This report provides a brief history of the thoria program, an analysis of the thoria target element failures which occurred during the irradiation phase, and the significant changes in the fabrication methods and inspection criteria and techniques which were made in response to the large number of failures that occurred in the early stages of the program. The thoria program has sustained 25 thoria target element failures. Eighteen of these failures are believed to have been caused as a result of water entry through fabrication defects in the closure weld. Two of the failures were attributable to water entry through the cladding as a result of charging machine damage, and the remaining five failures were caused by water entry in some undetermined manner. The majority of thoria element failures occurred in the early stages of the program. Upon determining the cause of failure, Production Fuels Section initiated programs to upgrade the …

Heat discharged to the Columbia River in reactor cooling water is one of the more important pollutants from Hanford operations. The effect of this heat on river temperatures has been studied for several years, primarily because of the potential effect on the Columbia River fisheries. This document presents a summary of recent river temperature experience, with comparison data for a better perspective.
