[en] A report is presented on the metallurgical contract research facilities and services on offer from AERE Harwell against the background of the pioneering work in the nuclear field. The areas of technical expertise are reviewed and the overall capability available to boost industrial performance is illustrated by reference to a range of case studies. (author)

[en] Information is presented on the deployment of Harwell professional scientific and engineering staff between work on and basic to the national nuclear programme, and work directed to other market areas, funded on a customer-contractor basis. Figures also show how the commercial revenue is distributed among different groups of customers. Examples of the commercial programme are given under the headings: biotechnology; computer technology; environmental sciences; materials science; offshore technology; specialised instrumentation. (U.K.)

[en] The report is in sections: nuclear data and technology for nuclear power; nuclear studies; other studies and applications (including sections dealing with the work of the following Groups: Synchrocyclotron, Moessbauer Effect, Ion-Crystal Interaction, High Voltages, Industrial Physics (nuclear techniques, radiation instruments, tracer techniques), Accelerator Operation Maintenance and Development). (U.K.)

[en] A new HV control and protection system has been installed on the Megawatt Beam Line at Culham, to permit the testing of JET prototype injector modules at 80kV and 60A, for pulses of up to 5 s duration. A HV tetrode is connected in series with the HV power supply and is used both to control the pulse voltage profiles and to provide fast protection for the injector. The system is described and evidence of its successful operation, obtained during both dummy load tests and initial tests of a prototype module, is examined. (author)

[en] Summaries are given of work on nuclear data and technology for nuclear power; nuclear reactions and nuclear properties; applications of nuclear and associated techniques in a variety of fields, particularly with the use of ion beams; accelerator operation and development. (U.K.)

[en] The report falls under the headings: nuclear, atomic and molecular physics (atomic and molecular theory; nuclear theory; centrifugal flow); theory of fluids (statistical mechanics; general fluid mechanics; flow in porous media; energy modelling); radiation damage and theoretical metallurgy (radiation damage; safety studies; mechanical and defect studies); theory of solid state materials (non-destructive testing; atomistic studies of defects in solids; atomistic studies of surfaces and planar defects; electronic structure of solids; studies of minerals and of vitrified waste).
