From Introduction : "This analysis partitions the electron density and the electronic pair density of the molecule into components corresponding promoted atomic states, to quasiclassical coulombic interactions of these promoted states, and to interactions resulting from the sharing of electrons between atoms."

One of the problems which may be encountered in the operation of NPR, or of any similar pressurized-water reactor, is the deposition of crud in the reactor core, particularly on the surfaces of the fuel elements. This crud consists primarily of iron oxides resulting from the corrosion of the piping. It has generally been found to deposit preferentially in a radiation field such as is present in the reactor core. Such deposition is undesirable for two reasons. First, the crud will become activated, and on subsequent release may create radioactivity levels in the ex-reactor components of the primary loop high enough to be a hazard to maintenance and operating personnel. Secondly, the crud deposit is a poor conductor of heat, and even a rather thin film can raise the cladding temperature by 100 -- 200{degree}C and result in accelerated corrosion of the cladding.

The results of a multi-group, diffusion type code computation for the fast neutron flux distribution in C, K, and N reactors are presented. Relative Ni activations in conjunction with the calculated neutron spectra are used to obtain values for the integrated fast flux per MWD/AT for C and K reactors. The relative, theoretical, integrated fast flux values at the same adjacent fuel powers in C, K, and N reactors in the mid-plane of the filler layers are: (1) C = 1.0; (2) K = 1.3; and (3) N = 2.6. For C reactor, the best estimate of the integrated fast flux per MWD/AT is: 5.0 {times} 10{sup 16} nvt (> 1 MeV) = 1 MWD/AT.

The high pressure loop installed in the 3X3 reflector position of the ETR and the associated instrumentation to detect and study failure mechanisms handled the rupture tests without difficulty. Failure of the elements was initiated by shearing off a projection on the fuel elements. The first test of the series used previously unirradiated seven-rod clusters. After the projection was sheared off the fuel elements were operated for seven hours with no failure. Failure is defined as having occurred when sufficient uranium oxide has formed to split open the cladding and release large amounts of fission products into the loop water. The second and third tests used fuel which had been irradiated to 2400 MWD/T at Hanford prior to insertion into the ETR. The second test was operated for 14 hours after the projection was sheared off--again with no failure. The third test was operated for only 33 minutes after the projection was sheared off before fission product activity in the loop water caused the test to be terminated.

From Abstract : "The mass spectrum of leucine-dn, prepared by the reaction of pyridoxal with excess leucine in D2O medium, has been established using the crucible source techniques. ... The reaction can be used for the selective α, β-deuteration of amino acids other than leucine.

C Reactor horizontal control rods were originally designed to have 32 feet of poison, made of 64 six inch ``cans`` each consisting of two concentric cylinders sealed at each end and the annular space between them filled with boron carbide powder. It was discovered before startup that under irradiation the neutron, alpha reaction in the boron could cause a pressure buildup and rupture of the sealed section. As an expediency cylinders wrapped with 72 miles thick cadmium metal were substituted for the boron ``cans`` and the pressure buildup problem was eliminated. However, since for a unit volume, natural cadmium contains fewer high cross-section nuclei than natural boron, the lifetime of one of these cadmium rods in Hanford flux levels is limited. Five of the original 15 cadmium rods were replaced in 1957 with boron rods of improved design. The primary purpose of this document is to present the results of a study to evaluate the extent of burnout in the remaining ten cadmium rods and their present rate of burnout so that replacement can be scheduled before these rods start losing significant reactivity poisoning effectiveness.

From Introduction : "In this paper we describe a choice of normal elliptic integrals which appears to be very well suited for use in integral tables as well as for numerical work."

Localized cladding instability or necking has resulted in failures of the Zr-2 cladding of rod cluster and tubular fuel elements and fuel rods in NaK filled capsules. The cause of this non-uniform cladding strain is thought to be a combination of the effects of irradiation and nonuniform cladding thickness. To determine the influence of these two factors and that of temperature on the susceptibility to failure, and to obtain data related to cladding thickness tolerances for the NPR fuel elements an irradiation experiment was designed. This experiment consisted of eighteen capsules each containing three Zr-2 clad uranium rods. Cladding thickness variations of up to 25 percent were introduced in the cladding by machining ``grooves`` longitudinally on the outer surface. The temperatures of the cladding were established by the thickness of the capsule wall. These capsules, charged in DR Reactor in October 1961, were prematurely discharged after five days irradiation because of a rupture. The cause of the rupture was established to be overheating and accelerated corrosion of the Zr-2 capsule body as a result of inadequate coolant to the capsule surface.

From report: "In a series of paper (1-3) Sheppard has analyzed the vibrational spectra of simple alkyl halides. During the course of an investigation of the spectra of similar alkyl thiocyanates certain anomalies appeared in the assignments of the CC stretching and methyl rocking vibrations in isopropyl and tert.-butyl halides."

The results are reported of a literature search for information concerning the heterogeneous, gas phase, catalytic hydrogen-oxygen recombination. Laboratory scale experiments to test the performance of specific metal oxide catalysts under conditions simulating the atmosphere within a nuclear reactor containment vessel following a loss-of-coolant blowdown accident are suggested.

Recent studies suggest that the primary action of insulin is on the permeability of cell membranes. This idea may account for the effects of the hormone in broken cell preparations as well as in tissue preparations with intact cells if the concept of the cell membrane is broadened to include endoplasmic reticular extensions and the membranes of subcellular organelles. Following on the initial demonstration that insulin was bound to muscle and the elucidation of the structure of insulin, evidence was presented that this binding involves a sulfur-sulfur linkage between hormone and target tissue. In the present work, skeletal muscle cell ghosts were prepared for use in studying the chemical nature of the attachment of insulin to a relatively pure cell membrane preparation.
