Document issued by the Office of the Attorney General of Texas in Austin, Texas, providing an interpretation of Texas law. It provides the opinion of the Texas Attorney General, Will Wilson, regarding a legal question submitted for clarification: Validity of vouchers for the purchase of medication and drugs to be furnished patients at a State hospital while on furlough.

The behavior of insoluble corrosion products in the HRT is generally understood and studies of the removal of these solids by hydroclones can logically be terminated after the effect of higher processing rates by the multiple hydroclone has been determined. Chemical descaling may be required to supplement solids removal by hydroclones. Laboratory studies to find suitable reagents will be continued in conjunction with decontamination work presently in progress.

Rare earth solubility levels and thus poison fraction from this group will be measured after the addition of signiflcant quantities of four important elements has minimized analytical detection problems. The role of the tellurium precursor in the interpretation of iodine behavior will be eximined extensively in the present run in an effort to resolve previous discrepancies. Studies of iodine behavior can be continued after shutdown of the hydroclone system if required. An electrolytic process for removal of nickel from fuel solution has been developed through the laboratory and engineering scale except for the design and testing of a cell suitable for radioactive environments.

In formulating this general diffusion theory expression which represents the neutron balance in a nuclear chain reactor the following assumptions were made : (1) the medium through which the neutrons are diffusing has a low neutron capture cross section, (2) the region in which the flux distribute is being described is two or three mean free paths from strong sources and sinks or from a boundary. Certainly, is going to the lattice cell of a receptor, both of the above conditions are violated; fuel elements have a large absorption cross section and most lattice cells are only two or three mean free paths to is over-all sites

Technical report describing the investigation undertaken to determine the necessary requirements for obtaining sound bonded joints on tantalum. Corrosion and Mass Transfer Loops LTTN 237A and 427 called for fabrication of 430 stainless steel clad tantalum tubing. Since there was little or no experience at welding this material at CANEL, specimens were welded using vacuum chambers and plastic chambers as normally used for loop fabrication. Resistance welding was performed without the use of a special atmosphere producing sound bonds.
