This report describes the Negative Income Tax and other Welfare Proposals to Guarantee an Annual Income.

Dense partricles of ThO/sub 2/-UO/sub 2/ were prepared by a sol-gel process and vibratorily compacted into metal tubes to a density approaching 9.0 g/ cc. The steps in this method are all simple and can be carried out behind shielding, which is necessary for refabricating U/sup 233/ fuels. The sol-gel process consists of preparing a hydrous thoria sol, adding the U/sup 233/ as nitrate solution, evaporating to a gel, and finally calcining to almost theoretically dense oxide particles at orly 1150 deg C. The sol-gel-prepared oxide, after being sized, was compacted with a simple, inexpensive pneumatic vibrator. (auth)

This technical report introduces "some approximations into the basic quantum mechanical theory" so that the theory of the covalent bond and the molecular orbital method "can be combined into one which will yield quantitative rather than qualitative binding energies and cohesive energies and also distinct energy levels and band structure." This approach will provide a common method "suitable to both solid state physicists and physical chemists, for calculating the energy levels in metals and complex molecules." This report also contains figures detailing the findings. (Quotations taken from introduction)

This report examines radiation damage in solids, looking particularly at calculations and experiments that can provide quantitative predictions of damage.

Technical report which reports a study of the effects of extinction upon diffuse x-ray measurements.

Technical report describes how glasses and crystals subjected to ionizing radiation develop absorption bands and become colored. The coloring of defects can be used to determine how nuclear reactor induced defects anneal out or disappear as an irradiated sample is heated.

Technical report on a study where the birefringence of irradiated polyethylene was observed as a function of temperature. The data is consistent with a mechanism in which crosslinking limits the growth and annealing of crystallites. Crosslinks formed in material which was oriented at the time the crosslinks were formed, results in an oriented gel. This effect explains the birefringence and the persistence of nucleation sites at high temperatures.

Technical report about a study in the use of galvanic cells using solid electrolytes to obtain thermodynamic data at high temperatures to study the free energy of formation of chlorides using Daniell cells where all components are solid. "The experimental techniques used are presented, including cell construction, preparation of anhydrous materials, and the handling of reactive metals and hydroscopic materials for galvanic cells." from the abstract. Results are presented for magnesium chloride, cerium chloride, uranium chloride, and thorium chloride, and are compared with other available data.

Technical report covering an extensive investigation of the nature of fission fragment "damage" in various metals. During the investigation electron micrographs of fission fragment tracks in the BNL Graphite Reactor fuel element cores were made.

In this technical report studies on the sites in the porphyyrin moiety for the binding of vitamin B12 by serum proteins are presented. "The binding capacity of serum for radio-hydroxocobalamin is compared to that for radio-cyanocobalamin, and th effect of subsequent binding of radio-cyanocobalamin by prior addition of non-radioactive analogues and sodium cyanide are presented.

Technical report summarizing the evidence that "the capacity for spontaneous tumor formation is certain Nicotiana hybrids is genetically controlled and that genetic change during plant development, i.d. somatic mutation, is not causal to tumor formation." from the introduction.

Technical report about the investigation of whether low kinetic energy nuclear fission fragment particles create tracks in thin films similar to the tracks created from total kinetic energy fragments in excess of 150 Mev. The research goal is to understand the mechanism of track formation.

Technical report that attempts to address the controversy regarding the activation energy for the process of annealing single interstitials in irradiated graphite. The experiments determined that "the activation energy for the process of annealing single interstitials in neutron irradiated graphite and the absolute rate of formation of displaced atoms have been determined..." from the abstract.

Technical report describing "the interaction of IAA, kinetin and GA upon tumor induction in Nicotiana hybrids." from the abstract.

The green photosynthetic bacteria are characterized by the presence of either chlorobium chlorophyll (bacterioviridin)-65o or chlorobium chlorophyll-66o (numerical designation based on the position of the red-absorption peak in ether) z. Most strains of Chlorobium contain chlorophyll-66o which has its major red peak between 74 ° and 75 ° m/~ in FiFo. KATZ AND WASSINK z first reported an additional minor absorption peak at 81o mF for Chlorobium limicola in vivo and a corresponding minor peak at 780 m F in ethanol extracts. LARSEN (Figs. 6-11 in ref. 3) also observed this 8Io-mF absorption band in another Chlorobium strain and a corresponding peak at 77 ° m/~ in acetone extracts. In strain L of C. thiosulfatophilum the minor red peak appears at 800 mF, clearly resolved from the main peak of chlorophyll-65o at about 725 m/~ (see refs. I, 4). We have observed the minor red peak once again in Chloropseudomonas ethylicum, strain 2K (refs. 5, 6), as a shoulder at about 81o mF on the side of the 75o-mF peak of chlorophyll-66o (ref. 7). The evidence presented in this paper indicates that the absorption peak appearing between 800 and 81o m/, in vivo does not belong to chlorophyll-65 o (or …

Technical report that investigates the the correlation between changes in catalytic activity caused by high energy radiation and the changes in the physical and chemical structure of magnesium oxide catalysts. The investigation of magnesium oxide catalysts might help clarify a complex and poorly understood field.

Technical report investigates creating a microbeam of deuterons to simulate cosmic rays and the results of brain irradiation, irradiation of the eye, and irradiation of hair follicles of mice. The report's conclusion was that "astronauts exposed to heavy primary particles over a period of some weeks would be expected to develop gray hairs, but this is the only significant biological damage they would suffer."

This technical report introduces a new method to capture entire cell populations in the intestines of rats, which have been continuously exposed to radiation.This report finds that the "total number of cells per crypt found after 5 days of irradiation decreases with increasing dose rate." This report includes four figures and two tables detailing findings.

This technical report is part four in a series on the structure of sperm whale myoglobin. This report examines the amino acid sequences of the smaller tryptic peptides containing aromatic residues in order to describe in detail the sequences for peptides, tripeptides, and hexapeptides.

The Nuclear Safety Mission consists of seven programs of broad integrated experimental and analytical studies designed to answer long-standing nuclear safety questions and thus assist in providing safeguards against nuclear accidents. It will provide data leading to the technical bases for controlling the consequences of postulated nuclear incidents. Safety standards in the area of nuclear and radiological control are tending towards increased restrictions. As this trend continues it will be necessary for Richland facilities to either show compliance or modify facilities for compliance with new standards.

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,

Reduced process water treatment costs and incidental benefits of smaller hexavalent chromium discharge to the Columbia River provided incentives to conduct a half-reactor production test. The sodium dichromate (Na{sub 2} Cr{sub 2} O{sub 7}2H{sub 2}O) concentration in process water supplied to the far side of 105-C was lowered from a nominal value of 1.8 to 1.0 parts per million (ppM). This test was started September 26, 1960 and is still in progress. However, a sufficient amount of data is available now to permit an interim evaluation of the corrosion effects noted as a result of the change inhibitor concentration.
