Report analyzing the Guantanamo Naval Base 2.25 MGD desalting and power generation facility in order to create a guide for the research and development programs for the Office of Saline Water and for commercial desalinization facilities.

Following stimulation by three nuclear explosives, the field rate of production of ''Reservoir A'', U.S.S.R., increased very significantly. The potential profitability of projects such as Reservoir A and some of the possible causes for the increased rate of production are reviewed.

Monthly newsletter of the High Plains Underground Water Conservation District No. 1, discussing the field of underground water. Topics include profiles of water conservation research, annual pre-plant soil moisture survey data, annual Winter Water Level measurement data, and information about the latest water conservation tips.

For the radioactivities that are to be observed in the foils in these packets, the available decay scheme literature has been reviewed. Values are presented for the half-lives and the gamma-rays energies and absolute intensities for from one to three prominent transitions from each isotope. The uncertainties (1 δ value) are given for each quantity.

The method of defining detection limits which has been adopted by the 222-S Analytical Laboratory counting room is described. The system for reporting limits defines two levels of detection limits: the critical level (L/sub c/) which must be exceeded before a sample can be said to contain any material above the background level and a detection limit (L/sub D/) at which we can be 95% sure that we will detect material. The common method of using twice the standard deviation of the background as a lower detection limit was found to lead to erroneous results. Equations relating L/sub c/ and L/sub D/ to the magnitude and standard deviation of the background were derived. Two examples illustrate the use of these levels. (auth)

Summary: The motion of Rifle Gap Dam was measured in September 1969 during the Project RULISON underground nuclear explosion. The observed response was then compared with the response computed in a mathematical model. Observed and computed responses were similar. From this study it appears that the mathematical models used are applicable to the design and analysis of soil structures, at least for ground motion intensities comparable to those observed at Rifle Gap Dam.

A method for electronically temperature-flattening a "flashlight-type" thermionic reactor with both axial and radial heat generation nonuniformities is described. The method, which makes use of compensating electron cooling variation while satisfying the voltage- and current-matching constraints on the in-core series-parallel diode network, results in substantially uniform emitter temperatures throughout the reactor. Novel analytical techniques for temperature-flattening a nonuniform reactor are described and used to generate specific illustrative designs. It is shown that, even with severe nonuniformities, the temperature-flattened reactor exhibits almost as high a power density and conversion efficiency as a reactor using fuel-zoning for full power flattening. By eliminating the need for fuel-zoning, the concept described here reduces the critical size and system weight, and permits the use of thicker emitter walls for enhanced reliability.

Data are summarized on the radioactivity in environmental samples collected from various locations within the Hanford plant boundaries during 1970. Data are included on the content of /sup 90/Sr, /sup 32/P, /sup 46/Sc, /sup 51/ Cr, /sup 65/Zn, /sup 131/I, /sup 2 4/Na and tritium in samples of water from the Columbia River; the total BETA activity in samples of drinking water; the total alpha and BETA activity in samples of surface waters; the radioactivity in tissue samples from waterfowl, game birds, deer, and small mammals feeding on the area; the total BETA activity and /sup 131/I content in samples of surface air; and the total alpha , BETA , and gamma activity in samples of air filters from various locations.
