This report presents the results of an updated study to determine the preparation, schedules and cost for restart of KE Reactor and the subsequent plutonium production and incremental conversion cost of sustained plant operation. The restart of Hanford`s KE Reactor features short startup time, large capacity, low cost, and high purity product. The study shows that KE Reactor can be restarted and achieve full power 7 months after authorization. Prestartup costs are $4,416,000 for labor and material with only $375,000 for facility repair and replacement. Over 375 kg of plutonium are produced in the first years and equilibrium operation is achieved near the end of the second year.

Report on chemicals in the groundwater of Reagan County, Texas.

One of the most important investigations to be conducted during the early operation of NAL is the search for quarks. Several experiments have been proposed which will investigate quark production via the strong interaction. As we discuss below, however, there are serious arguments to suggest that the mass limits obtained will not be significantly higher than the current limits of 4 to 5 GeV. To circumvent these objections we propose a simple experiment based on e1ectromagnetic production of quarks. It would run inside the main ring with photons produced in the rotating c-o target. No presently approved quark experiment is sensitive to such production without modification of its proposed set-up.

It is proposed to conduct an experiment at the National Accelerator Laboratory concerned with the search for new particles having lifetimes between 10{sup -17} and 10{sup -12} second. The experiment will be conducted with an emulsion chamber arranqement and will explore for particles with lifetimes too short to be observed directly with other instruments. Two sidelines of the experiment will be concerned with an improved measurement of the lifetime of the neutral pion and the search for gamma ray bundles arising from higher mass resonances which cannot decay by pion emission.
