The report on the 2 kW(e) reactor-organic Rankine system was drafted. This report details the design parameters of a minimum weight, 2 kW(e) reactor-organic Rankine system. The system is designed for 5 years unattended life in space. The reactor produces 16.2 kW of thermal power with a NaK outlet temperature of 800/sup 0/F and a 200/sup 0/F ..delta..T. The reactor contains 19 fuel elements, 1.25'' in diameter by 10'' long, hydrided to an N/sub H/ of 6.35. The terrestrial applications effort was oriented towards the establishment of the feasibility of utilizing the zirconium hydride reactor technology in a subsea application for supplying electrical power to deep water, and other environmentally severe, oil well installations. The overall system concept is shown. The power system is composed of three basic modules (i.e., a reactor module, a generator module, and a heat rejection system) mounted on a barge. The barge is then towed to the installation site and submerged to mate with a previously installed seafloor foundation. An assembly/disassembly sequence was drafted detailing the steps required to assemble the reactor module and to disassemble it after 4 years of operations.

Studies conducted over the last few years on the observations and measurements made in the field on 1 June 1970 are assembled and interpreted in terms of the modelling of convective shower systems and their scavenging patterns. The modelling of cloud microphysics in relation to precipitation generation and scavenging as well as convective system dynamics is also discussed. It is suggested that parameterizations of the microphysical processes and the fine-scale dynamics will probably have to be tested for adequacy against nearly full scale computations in three dimensions using time-dependent equations with variable boundary conditions. Steps toward this long term objective are planned.

Results are presented on the production of K{sub s}{sup 0}, {Lambda} and {gamma} and {gamma} in 100 GeV/c {pi}{sup -}p interactions in the 30-inch hydrogen bubble chamber at NAL. The cross sections for the production of {pi}{sup 0}, K{sub s}{sup 0}, {Lambda} and {bar {Lambda}} are derived and compared with those produced in other reactions as functions of the energy. The average number of {pi}{sup 0} produced per collision is the same as in 100 GeV/c pp reactions.

A measurement of the spatial resolution of a liquid-argon filled chamber was performed with minimum ionizing particles. Two multi-strip chambers with 20-{micro}m strip spacing operating in the ionization mode were used in the experiment. They perform in accordance with a simple model based on electron diffusion. An estimate of the amount of electron diffusion in liquid argon is given and the time jitter distribution has a FWHM of 200 ns. Under best conditions, the spatial resolution is better than 20 {micro}m rms with an efficiency of nearly 100%.

The project is progressing under the authorizing November 12, 1973, TWX from AL to RL. It provides for removal of the retired equipment in the 234-5 Building, its packaging and burial suitable for 20-year retrieval. The building area affected will be decontaminated and made available for other purposes. Work is progressing on removal of the inspection equipment in Room 192 with two hoods having been detached from the conveyor head. No contamination exterior to the hoods has occurred. Document, Vitro-R-286 and its addendum are attached. They provide the sequence for removal of the inspection line equipment and the special procedure for removal of Hood HI-74. Twelve steel burial boxes have been received and 30 fiberglass burial boxes are in transit from Rocky Flats. No unusual problems have been encountered.

Approximately 2,000 acres of land in the center of the Hanford Reservation is contaminated with an estimated 14 Ci of /sup 137/Cs and 81 Ci of /sup 90/Sr associated with animal wastes. Approximately half of this activity is located on (or within) 2.5 centimeters of the ground surface. The source of the contamination was the B-C Cribs and trenches which were used as liquid radioactive waste disposal sites during the 1950's. The mechanism for movement of radionuclides from the disposal site to the ground surface is believed to have been burrowing by an animal (probably a badger) followed by use of the exposed material as a salt lick by rabbits and other animals. When the radioactivity was discovered, the burrow was sealed, the contaminated site was classed as a radiation zone, and surveillance initiated. The contamination site has not been a significant hazard to employees at the plant or to the public. The Atlantic Richfield Hanford Company maintained control over the surface contamination by isolation, zoning, and by continued surveillance. Methods of handling the contaminated area have been considered. Discussions of these alternatives and applicable safety analysis information are included in this document.
