Annual report submitted by the Girl Scouts of the United States of America to Congress describing highlights from 1967, activities, finance, public relations, organizational leadership, and other information about scouting programs.

This report discusses the cases relating to communist and subversive activities appealed to the Supreme court and the report contains two devices, first is a table of contents and the second is an alphabetical table of cases.

The total cross sections for resonant charge exchange have been measured as a function of energy in the range from 10 to 500 eV for the Cs{sup +}-Cs, Rb{sup +}-Rb, and K{sup +}-K systems. The agreement with certain data obtained at higher energies for these systems, and with theoretical cross sections of Smirnov is satisfactory.

The purpose of this report is to explain the computerized method of reporting operating quality costs at the Neutron Devices Department (NDD), St. Petersburg, Florida. Quality Control Management recognized the need to report operating quality costs more meaningfully. With the aid and cooperation of the Finance Section, a GE 415 computerized (COBOL) procedure was developed and implemented at NDD to measure quality cost expenditures more effectively. The detailed procedure and explanation of pertinent quality cost activities can be found in the Appendices.

This report is about the election of president by the house of representatives.

This is the first of a series of monthly reports summarizing the status of the work of the National Accelerator Laboratory. This first report will cover developments since the publication of the Design Report in January. Authorization hearings were held before the Joint Committee on Atomic Energy on February 21, 1968. Dr. Wilson described the plans and designs of the Laboratory. The present plan of the Laboratory is that the Village of Weston will be utilized for office, laboratory, and shop space during construction. The Laboratory business office is already occupying several houses. The linac section is occupying three houses for offices and construction of an 8,000 sq ft laboratory building for linac work is almost complete. Another house is being used and a 4,500 sq ft inflatable building is being constructed for model-magnet and vacuum testing. Other temporary buildings will be constructed for use by other sections. We plan to move into the village as rapidly as is feasible and it is planned that the entire technical staff will be located there by October. The Laboratory staff totals 132 people as of April 1. Of these, 47 are physicists and engineers. Design effort has been somewhat concentrated on architecture …

Selected values are presented for the high temperature physical and mechanical properties of fuel element materials involved in a loss-of-coolant incident in a boiling water or pressurized water nuclear reactor. The fuel element materials considered are Zircaloy-2 and -4, 304 SS, and UO{sub 2}. Where possible, the property values have been critically evaluated taking into consideration the meltdown environment of steam or steam and air. The physical properties discussed are: melting point, boiling point, heat of fusion, heat of vaporization, vapor pressure, phase transformations, coefficient of thermal expansion, density, total normal emittance, thermal conductivity and enthalpy and heat capacity. The mechanical properties discussed are: tensile strength, ductility, compressive strength, and modulus of elasticity. In most instances, values of various properties are given as a function of temperature to the melting point of the material. The kinetics of the oxidation reactions fo the cladding materials with steam are also discussed and equations presented for calculation of oxidation rates under isothermal conditions for one atmosphere of steam.

Annual report from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service describing activities of the organization, expenditures and receipts, and a discussion of other relevant topics for the fiscal year.

The biomedical program of the Laboratory of Nuclear Medicine and Radiation Biology for FY 1970 is conducted within the scope of the following categories: Somatic Effects of Radiation; Combating Detrimental Effects of Radiation; Molecular and Cellular Level Studies; Environmental Radiation Studies; Radiological and Health Physics and Instrumentation; Cancer Research; and Selected Beneficial Applications. The overall objectives of the Laboratory within these areas of the Biology and Medicine Program may be summarized as follows: (1) investigation of the effects of ionizing radiation on systems of biological significance and on living organisms; (2) assessment and study of the immediate and long term consequences of the environmental radioactivity on flora, fauna, and man; (3) development of beneficial uses of ionizing radiation and radioactive substances in medicine and biology; and (4) the conduct of training and educational activities in fields related to the biological and medical aspects of radiation.
