This report discusses a meeting scheduled with a Subcommittee of the Advisory Committee on Reactor Safeguards to review the future need for retention of government land on the Wahluke Slope. A number of questions were asked by the Washington AEC Division of Production as a basis for the discussions. This interim report provides answers to several of the questions.

This report addresses the Application of Snap Reactor Power Systems to Manned Space Stations.

The development and testing of a demonstration brushless alternator for the ML-1 mobile nuclear power plant is described. The brushless concept was selected after it became apparent that a conventional power generator could not satisfy the ML-1 weight and size requirements. The demonstration alternator fabricated and tested under this program did not meet all performance specifications; the efficiency was low and the unit could not be operated for significant periods of time without overheating. However, a large body of useful data was accumulated during the extensive development program. Of special interest are data on the rotor and stator design, the cooling requirements and on the distribution of eddy current losses. Analysis of the data indicates that a brushless alternator, only slightly larger and heavier than was specified for the ML-1, could be developed with a modest additional effort.

This report, for May 1964 from the Chemical Processing Department at HAPO, discusses the following: Production operation; Purex and Redox operation; finished products operation; maintenance; Financial operations; facilities engineering; research; employee relations; and weapons manufacturing operation.

To assure that the NEERVA reactor will function reliably during its test program, cleanliness must be controlled at each stage. These stages include design, manufacture, assembly, shipping, and test. The assembly stage is that phase which this handbook is concerned.

From introductory paragraphs: "The central problems in neutron research are the understanding of nuclear structure and the study of the properties of nuclear particles, particularly the properties of the neutron. The most fruitful attack on these problems is the determination of the probability of interactions between neutrons and nuclei, i.e., the measurement of neutron cross sections. Ideally, this involves the study of all possible types of neutron interaction with all available nuclei at all neutron energies...The discussion in this paper will omit the interactions leading to neutron productions, and will be limited to the intersections of neutrons with stable nuclei."

Under the stimulus of electronic materials development - particularly thin-film studies - and the need for space environmental simulation chambers, a very rapid increase in the availability of industrial-sized vacuum components and systems operable in the ultrahigh vacuum range has taken place in the last three years. It is the purpose of this paper to explore the design considerations of ultrahigh vacuum systems for metallurgical applications.
