The present study was motivated by an attempt to understand low energy [formula] scattering within the framework of the bootstrap principle and the un-Reggeized version of the strip approximation. This work attempts to generate low energy [formula] scattering in the p(1,1) and p(3,3) states assuming the potential operating in these states is generated by the exchange of low mass meson states in the crossed t-channel and low mass baryon states in the crossed u channel. In particular, the p-meson is kept in channel t; the p mass and the coupling of [formula] and [formula] appear as parameters. The parameters of the nucleon and (3,3) poles are taken as the elements to be determined by self-consistency.

Reduction of Pu nitrate solution to metal is accomplished in the button line portion of the Remote Mechanical Line. Several areas of deficiency exist in the facility, which must be corrected in order to maintain continuity. In December 1963, a study was undertaken to define and evaluate the operational and economic parameters pertinent to deciding to improve or replace the button line. This paper documents the study and presents the conclusions and recommendations.

Monthly newsletter of the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District No. 1, discussing the field of underground water. Topics include profiles of water conservation research, annual pre-plant soil moisture survey data, annual Winter Water Level measurement data, and information about the latest water conservation tips.

The prebiotic synthesis of phosphorus-containing compounds--such as nucleotides and polynucleotides--would require both a geologically plausible source of the element and pathways for its incorporation into chemical systems on the primitive Earth. The mineral apatite, which is the only significant source of phosphate on Earth, has long been thought to be problematical in this respect due to its low solubility and reactivity. However, in the last decade or so, at least two pathways have been demonstrated which would circumvent these perceived problems. In addition, recent results would seem to suggest an additional, extraterrestrial source of reactive phosphorus. It appears that the 'phosphorus problem' is no longer the stumbling block which it was once thought to be.

An unclassified design criteria for Fission Waste Container Storage Facilities is presented in HW-81771 PT1. The purpose of this document is to present information not given in HW-81771 PT1. This information deals with fission waste container production rates and fission waste inventories.

A dose-probability model is developed for the evaluation of external "whole-body" gamma exposures to the earth population resulting from fuel fragments produced by suborbital destruct of a nuclear rocket engine. The model is applied to a "worst-case" failure of a nuclear engine prior to achieving 100-nautical-mile orbit. Experimental and analytical data appearing in the literature are used where applicable.
