From Abstract: "The bibliography, a supplement to NBS Monograph 35, of the same title, covers the years 1960 to 1965, inclusive, and include 109 references for prior years not listed in Monograph 35. It contains 1787 references, 38 of which are to books. The references, besides those directly concerned with pressure measurement, include those on vacuum technology which may bear on the technique of vacuum measurement, such as on adsorption and desorption, diffusion of gases into solids, gas conductance and hardware such as pumps, seals and traps."

Report describing the application of conventional cost experience to physical features of source of supply, treatment, pumping, transmission, distribution, and storage for community water supply sources. Some costs due to readily removable water quality characteristics like suspended solids, color, taste, and order are measurable, as are other conventional costs of operation and maintenance. Other costs related to an excess of dissolved solids, however, tend to be unknown and are the subject of this study.

Report documenting experiments in order to determine the "behavior of a partially confined liquid in contact with a rapidly heated surface" (p. 7). These liquids include water, methanol, ethylene bromide, and acetone.

This report itemizes the irradiations performed by Testing for Battelle-Northwest. It lists the material being irradiated, awaiting disposition and material shipped during the report period.

A half reactor test was initiated at B Reactor on February 1, 1967, to determine whether the concentration of P{sup 32} and As{sup 76} in the reactor effluent water would be reduced by the addition of activated alumina in the water treatment process. This test was prompted by the reported effectiveness of activated alumina in sorption of phosphates when water flow is through a packed bed of this material. Although direct feed of material would not be expected to be as effective, testing of this possible approach appeared warranted. This report summarizes the results of this test. Samples taken from each effluent riser during reactor operation indicated no improvement in either As{sup 76} or P{sup 32} performance. This comparison is shown below with a complete tabulation of daily values included as Attachment 1.

This report presents details of the activities of Douglas United Nuclear at the Hanford site during the month of April 1967.

The production reactors operated by Douglas United Nuclear, Inc., use treated Columbia River water as the coolant on a once through basis. Thus, radionuclides formed largely by the neutron activation of river salts are discharged to the river. One method of reducing the quality of radionuclides in the effluent is to increase the efficiency of parent isotope removal during the water treatment process. Prior to 1961 the water treatment process for preparing reactor coolant had been improved to the point that reactor quality coolant could be produced using an average alum flocculent feed rate of 6 ppM. Laboratory experiments carried out in 1959 and 1960 demonstrated that a markedly increased removal of parent isotopes resulted when alum feed rates in the neighborhood of 20 ppM were used. The results were confirmed by two half-plant tests of short duration in July, 1961, all water treatment plants began to use alum at a somewhat arbitrarily selected rate of 18 ppm. The practice Continues to date at all plants except at the K Reactors. The K Reactor alum feed has been limited to a nominal 15 ppM because of the high filtered water requirements. The use of the high alum feed rate did …

This report lists the bound periodicals in the Technical Library at the Pacific Northwest Laboratory, operated by Battelle Memorial Institute. It was prepared from a computer program and is arranged in two parts. Part one is an alphabetical list of journals by title; part two is an arrangement of the journals by subject. The list headings are self-explanatory, with the exception of the title code, which is necessary in the machine processing. The listing is complete through June, 1966 and updates an earlier publication issued in March, 1965.
