The operation of the Fast Reactor is considered in terms of normal equilibrium conditions and normal shut-down. The proposed loading, control rod adjustment and subsequent "floating" operation are discussed. Safety devices and interlocks are described. Temperature and reactivity changes are examined with respect to various system failures, phase changes, and "flashing" of the reactor. Slow changes due to faulty slug cooling are also considered. The calculations were initially based upon 10 kw operation. Performance tests of the mercury system now indicate that 20-kw operation may be feasible.

This following report discusses the studies and findings of the East Chaco Canyon drilling project of northwestern New Mexico. These studies took place between July and November of 1978.

From introduction: A rapid appraisal of the carnotite resources of the Salt Wash sandstone member of the Morrison formation in the Carrizo Mountains area was undertaken by the U. S. Geological Survey late in 1951 in connection with its current project of geologic mapping of the area. Though brief and preliminary, this report provides a summary of production trends and estimated reserves in the area and indicates as far as possible the total potential of the area as a source of uranium. This information may be helpful in planning new milling facilities or other measures to encourage a higher rate of production.

From introduction: This report describes the objectives, scope, design, drilling and hydrologic history, and the test results collected during permeability testing of sub-horizontal boreholes drilled in the waste-handling shaft (WHS) at the Waste Pilot Plant (WIPP) site located in southeastern New Mexico.

Abstract: Uranium-bearing copper deposits occur in steeply dipping beds of the Sangre de Cristo formation of Pennsylvanian and Permian age south of Coyote, Mora County, N. Mex. Mapping and sampling of these deposits indicate that they occur in lenticular carbonaceous zones in shales and arkosic sandstones. Samples from these zones contain as much as 0.067 percent uranium and average 3 percent copper. Metatyuyamunite is disseminated in some of the arkosic sandstone beds, and uraninite was identified in some of the copper sulfide nodules occurring in the shale. In polished section these sulfide nodules were found to be composed principally of chalcocite with some bornite and covellite, as well as pyrite and malachite. Most of the samples were collected near the surface from the weathered zone. The copper and uranium were probably deposited with the sediments and concentrated into zones during compaction and lithification. Carbonaceous material in the Sangre de Cristo formation provided the environment that precipitated uranium and copper from mineral-charged connate waters forced from the clayey sediments.

Data collected as part of the Douglas Quadrangle in Arizona including laboratory and field data on waters and sediments.

Appendices containing data on uranium availability in the Silver City Quadrangle to accompany a report on U.S. uranium resources in New Mexico and Arizona.

From introduction: The purpose of this survey was to document the pre-event and post-event condition of all existing surface facilities within a 10-mile radius of ground zero for Project GNOME.

Abstract: Field and laboratory data are presented for 161 water samples and 235 sediment samples from the Douglas Quadrangle, Arizona; New Mexico. Uranium values have been reported by Los Alamos National Laboratory in Report GJBX-69(78). The samples were collected by Los Alamos National Laboratory; laboratory analysis and data reporting were performed by Uranium Resource Evaluation Project at Oak Ridge, Tennessee.

Report documenting results of analysis for airborne gamma radiation and total magnetic field survey for the Hobbs National Topographic Map Sheet (NI 13-12). It includes data calculations and profiled data readings with a general description of the area and corresponding data readings.

From Introduction: "The Silver City Quadrangle, New Mexico and Arizona (Fig. 1), was evaluated to identify geologic environments and delineate areas that could containg uranium deposits aggregating at least 100 tons U3O8 at an average grade not less than 100 ppm U3O8."

From introduction: This report presents uranium and other elemental data resulting from the Hydrogeochemical and Stream Sediment Reconnaissance (HSSR) of the Shiprock National Topographic Map Series (NTMS) quadrangle, New Mexico/Arizona, by the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory (LASL).

Abstract: Experiments using highly turbid water from playa lakes for injection into the Ogallala Formation have resulted in greatly decreased yield of the recharge wells. Recharge of ground or surface water of good quality has indicated, however, that injection through wells in an effective method of recharging the aquifer. Water that is slightly turbid can be successfully injected for a period of time, but generally results in constantly declining yields and capacity for recharge. Redevelopment through pumping and surging significantly prolongs the life of recharge wells under some conditions. Surface spreading is little practiced on the High Plains, but locally may be a feasible means of artificial recharge.
