FORTRAN-callable subroutines have been written to enable controller--controllee interaction on the LLL DECsystem-10. These subroutines have been used to construct a controller (XTCTMR) for a tandem-mirror physics code (CTCTMR). A description of the subroutines and their use is presented. Also, sample results are given.

Laboratory experiments were performed to evaluate methods for removing plutonium from insulation, glass leach heel, and sand and slag heel. The methods evaluated included hydrochloric acid leaching, nitric acid leaching, and a treatment consisting of a fusion step followed by acid leaching. Results indicate that a nitric acid leach is effective in lowering the plutonium concentration of these solid wastes to the desired limit, if multiple contacts are used. A hydrochloric acid leach was found to be superior to a nitric acid leach for removing plutonium from the residues.

Work has progressed along two lines: obtaining of detailed occupation, industry, wage, and skill information; and obtaining of detailed materials and labor requirements (so-called direct requirements) for conservation and solar options. The latter is currently focused upon thermally tight single-family residences (vs. as-built). Both of these inputs will be used in conjunction with our input-output employment-energy model.

Weekly report of the Texas Crop and Livestock Reporting Service on turkey poult numbers in Texas and compared with other states. It includes compiled statistics across six consecutive weeks, from the week ending March 10 to the week ending April 7, during 1987 and 1979 for turkey eggs set and poults hatched.
