A preliminary design of the ZnSe cycle for thermochemical hydrogen production has been prepared for use in deriving economic costs for hydrogen production. The process flowsheet identifies key equipment items as well as major streams. Flow and heat loads have been estimated based on one mole of hydrogen output. The thermal efficiency of this cycle depends on two factors: (1) the ability to perform the dissolution of ZnSO/sub 4/ and the hydrolysis of ZnSe with a minimum amount of aqueous HCl, and (2) the ability to match the process heat requirements with available heat from the exothermic steps in the cycle. Estimates of the cycle's thermal efficiency range from 34--57 percent depending upon the process heat utilization.

The object of this program is to demonstrate that large single-crystal ingots, 6-inch diameter by 4 inches tall, can be economically cast by the Heat Exchanger Method (HEM) and economically sliced into thin sheets, 0.008-inches thick, with a multi-wafer slicer. The thrust of the experimental work during this quarter was to establish the proper seed meltback and to nucleate single-crystal growth off the seed. Slicing tests were begun on the multi-blade wafering machine, using a newly fabricated sensitive feed mechanism and associated components. (WDM)

The low momentum beam described is to be a unique source of antiprotons as well as kaons. The discussion covers (1) choice of production angle; (2) secondary beams; (3) the use of sector dipole magnets for minimizing aberrations; (4) beam bending magnets; (5) beam separators; and (6) beam acceptance.
