This report describes the historical use of executive power, gives data showing the number of times executive power was used during a term, and lists executive orders repealed by Congress.

The distribution of fuel elements in the EBWR core is described. Spike elements with boron steel strips were provided in the core for burnup allowance. A calibration of the control rod system with Zircaloy followers was made. Void coefficient measurements were made for two different H/sub 3/BO/sub 3/ concentrations. Power runs were made, and reactivity loss vs. power characteristic was obtained. Steam remaining in the core, or carryunder,'' was indicated. Some of the spikes were removed for increasing the power to 80 Mw. Calculations were made of the reactivity loss with coolant void and of the average void vs. reactor power. (D. L.C.)

Report issued by the Brookhaven National Laboratory discussing high-pressured gamma loops. As stated in the introduction, "this latest endeavor involved three test cells, a gamma irradiation pool and supporting equipment, as well as an enlarged high-pressure gamma loop facility" (p. 1).

Report issued by the Brookhaven National Laboratory discussing the shipboard cobalt-60 irradiator. As stated in the introduction, "this report discusses the conceptual design of a cobalt-60 shipboard irradiator for use to improve the keeping quality of fish landed aboard commercial fishing trawlers operating out of ports along the eastern seaboard of the commercial United States" (p. 1). This report includes tables, and illustrations.

The following quarterly report covers the period during February 16 to May 15, 1963. This report is divided into sections covering the separate activities during this period, studying the thermal behavior of the F-center in RbCl.

Abstract: A large amount of water leaks through the floor of Lake McMillan to underground solution channels or openings in the gypsiferous Seven Rivers Formation.

This report, from the Chemical Processing Department at HAPO for May 1963, discusses the following: Production operation; Purex and Redox operation; Finished products operation; maintenance; Financial operations, facilities engineering; research; employee relations; weapons manufacturing operation; and power and crafts operation.

This document details activities of the Irradiation Processing Department during the month of August, 1958. A general summary is included at the start of the report, after which the report is divided into the following sections: Research and Engineering Operations; Production and Reactor Operations; Facilities Engineering Operation; Employee Relations Operation; and Financial Operation.

This document details activities of the N-Reactor Department during the month of May 1963.

A letter dated June 3, 1963 to W, E. Johnson, General Manager, Hanford Atomic Products Operation, from J. E. Travis, Manager, Richland Operations Office requested an updated study on the expected life of existing production reactors similar to Sections II, III and IV of document HW-59000. This study covers the ten year period to FY 1973 as the previous study document covered the ten year period FY 1958 to Fy 1968. In Section II, production has been forecast for the existing plant with no improvements beyond the current program for installation of zirconium process tubes in the K Reactors. Section III contains estimates of additional production from the six smaller reactors made possible through overboring the process channels and retubing with zirconium plus the associated water plant expansions. Section IV presents our analysis of the assurance which can reasonably be assigned to the predictions of Sections II and.III. The production forecasts have been prepared from the same base as the current production studies and have been developed within the technical limits listed later in the report,

Attached is the interpolated uranium burnout values Financial Consolidations will apply to the current AEC ten year cost study. We have made additional copies which may be of use to you in future studies since the source data was based on the most recent burnout schedule obtained from Washington AEC. We currently have a program to interpolate future burnout schedules. If you have a need for such a program, please contact the author.

The monthly report for the Hanford Laboratories Operation, May 1963. Reactor fuels, chemistry, dosimetry, separation processes, reactor technology, financial activities, biology operation, and physics and instrumentation research, and applied mathematics, and programming operation are discussed.

Reactor water leaks cause outage time for locating and eliminating the leaks and for repairing damage paused by the vater that enters the reactor. The justification for equipment and process changes necessary for reducing the number of leaks and the resultant outage time is dependent on the number of leaks expected. This document presents an estimate of the future reactor water leak frequency and the average outage time charged to each leak. A water leak is defined as any entry of vater into the reactor moderator during operation. Future vater leaks are expected to result primarily from Van Stone flange failures and miscellaneous causes such as mechanical damage, fuel ruptures, and transverse cracks. It is assumed that continuous emphasis will be placed on corrosion monitoring to determine the tubes that must be replaced to prevent leaks because of internal and external corrosion. The number of water leaks is expected to average between 80 and 100 per year in the future. The normal-range of the number of leaks probably will be between 60 and 120 per year as a result of normal variation in the process tube physical condition. The number of outage hours charged per leak is expected to continue …
