The capital of Maryland rests on the scenic Chesapeake Bay and boasts a huge historic district with hundreds of 18th-century mansions. It is also home to the US Naval Academy. 

Abelson and Hoover [Al], working in the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory, found that thermal diffusion in UF at pressures above the critical (4.6 MPa) resulted in small but measurable enrichment of at the hot waU. Because of the simplicity of thermal diffusion equipment compared with the advanced technology needed for the gaseous diffusion process, the Manhattan District in the United States in 1944-1945 used thermal diffusion of UF to raise its content to 0.86 percent, to serve as partially enriched feed for the Y-12... 

The EPA has contacted the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL), which has developed an ordnance detection system valued at 750,000. The NRL represents that their system is capable of determining depth and shape of any burials. The District of Columbia is under the impression that this instrument is able to distinguish between munitions burials and hot rocks and believe that this is the best available technology for this site. 

For the purposes of this pubhcation, a research reactor is a nuclear reactor used mainly for the generation and utilization of radiation for research and other purposes, such as the production of radioisotopes. This definition excludes nuclear reactors used for the production of electricity, naval propulsion, desalination or district heating. The term covers the reactor core. 

Herbert Nelson, Ph.D. developed a new magnetometer system for the Naval Research Laboratory and completed a wide area assessment of an impact area finding hundreds of potential UXO targets, validating the author s proposition that the site near the District of Columbia s drinking water reservoir was an impact area.
