This report briefly summarizes many of the provisions of the elections laws of the fifty states and the District of Columbia.

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.

During the 0000--0800 shift on August 21, 1960, the delayed neutron monitor on KER Loop 1 indicated a high coolant activity level. Sympathetic responses were also recorded on the Loop 2, 3 and 4 monitors indicating a possible fuel element failure in Loop 1. The KER Reactor began shutdown operations immediately thereafter. The purpose of this report is to summarize the events pertinent to this reactor outage and to discuss the results obtained from coolant and coupon samples taken from Loop 1.

Recent high tank drawdown data obtained at F reactor during periodic high velocity flushes indicated a reduction in flow to the reactor due to building of corrosion products in the high tank discharge lines. The apparent flow reduction at F reactor was verified by conducting a high tank drawdown test. Visual inspection of B, D, and F high tank discharge lines revealed comparable densities of corrosion product buildup, and high tank drawdown data during high velocity flushes at B and D also indicated a reduction in flow. High tank flow rate to the reactor under simulated emergency conditions needed to be accurately determined to establish current backup adequacy. This report presents the results of the tests which were conducted at D reactor on January 20, 1963 and at B reactor on February 11, 1963.

From Abstract: "This report describes the use of an air-filled aluminum-alloy ionization chamber to determine the energy transported by a bremsstrahlung beam with maximum photon energy in the range 6 to 170 Mev. This report can be used to construct a replica chamber to determine its absolute calibration between 6 and 170 Mev under a variety of experimental conditions."

From abstract: "Resistivities of solid solution alloys in the systems Gd-Lu, Tb-Lu, Gd-Er, and Y-Lu were measured from 4.2-320°K to determine the behavior of the resistivity in alloy systems with magnetic phenomena arising from localized magnetic moments. A large contribution to the residual resistivity is caused by the random distribution of these localized moments through the lattice. An analysis of the lattice resistivity of the metals shows large variations across the heavy rare-earth series which are possibly correlated with the change of c/a ratio of the metals and the attendent changes in the Fermi surface geometry."
