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.

Angular distribution and kinetic-energy spectra of fragments, and cross sections for fission of gold with 68- to 124-Mev C{sup 12} ions have been obtained by observation of the fragments in two types of detectors, gas scintillation chambers and silicon p-n junctions. From the parameters used to fit the angular distributions to the theoretical curves of Halpern and Strutinski, we have obtained the average excitation energy of the fissioning nucleus at the time of fission. This quantity is approximately 25 Mev, which is nearly independent of bombarding energy, suggesting that fission is preceded by the emission of several particles from the compound nucleus. The fission cross section increases from a value of 100 mb at 68 Mev to 1.28 b. at 124 Mev. Over this range of bombarding energies, the total fragment kinetic-energy release rises from 142 {+-} 6 to 146 {+-} 6 Mev. At all bombarding energies, the variation of laboratory-system kinetic energy of the fragments with laboratory-system angle indicates full momentum transfer by the bombarding particle to the fissioning system.

This report details activities of the N-Reactor Department during the month of May 1964.

The purpose of this document is to provide a tabulation of data concerning ruptured slugs for the use of various interested parties. This report presents data for the ruptures that occurred from January 1, 1962, through April 30, 1962, inclusive. Definitions of the terms used in the tabulations are nearly self-explanatory and are documented in the reference document. The possible exceptions to this are the three terms: type of metal, type of failure, and lot number. The legends currently in effect for these three terms are provided in this report.

Exponential and critical approach type measurements have been made to determine the critical mass, material buckling, and in a few cases, the extrapolation length for the lattices. This report attempts to list all measurements on water-uranium heterogenous lattices made to date at Hanford. All lattices were water moderated hexagonal arrays loaded with uranium of enrichments up to 3.15.

Failure of reactor rear face connectors is a problem at the reactors. The vibration has been studied at H and F Reactors to assist in the development of a permanent replacement for these connectors. Vibration data were otained from rear nozzles, connectors, and crossheaders within the process tube pattern for the following operating conditions: full cold water flow prior to reactor startup, normal operating power level, and during transition from shutdown to normal operating power level. The vibration patterns at 105-F and 105-H were similar in magnitude. Oscillograph data are presented.
