A plan for the disposal of nuclear reactor wastes in Sweden is outlined. The discussion also examines the possible hazards not considered in this plan. (MDR)

Discusses interactions between electromagnetic radiation and matter, the concept of fluctuating atomic or molecular dipoles, light-scattering, absorption, and photoluminescence. (SL)

Discusses the need to include instruction on solar energy concepts in chemistry courses. (SL)

Describes exercises for students to estimate the magnitude of energy available through solar power, wind, atmospheric electricity, heat capacity of air, and latent heat of air. (SL)

Discusses Hertz vector potentials and demonstrates their application to the calculation of electric and magnetic dipole radiation and to the propagation modes of a rectangular waveguide. (Author/SL)

Describes an experiment for determining the blackbody radiation constant hc/k, utilize a conventionally built cavity and a single-beam, single-window Perkin-Elmer 12-C model spectrometer. (SL)

Analyzes section 8 of Einstein's relativity paper of 1905, "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies," in its historical context. Relates this section to the rest of the relativity paper, to the genesis of relativity theory, and to contemporaneous work on radiation theory. (Author/MLH)

Describes 5 solar energy experiments that can be used in secondary school: flat-plate collector, solar thermoelectric generator, simple concentrators, solar cell, and natural storage of solar energy. (MLH)

Describes a set of student projects, each involving about 240 hours of laboratory time, covering the following topics: wind power monitoring, wind generator design, solar power, and the heat pump. (MLH)

The Faculty Board of Radiotherapy and Oncology of the Royal College of Radiobiologists surveyed the factors thought to influence recruitment into the specialty. Possible factors listed in replies of 36 questionnaires are offered. (LBH)

Discusses applications of techniques developed for the remote sensing of infrared radiation. In addition to military applications, remote sensing has become important in collecting environmental data and detecting ecological problems. (JR)

Discusses the research purposes and activities of the Pioneer mission, including the instruments used, data on Jupiter's radiation belt, and information about cosmic ray intensity. Included is a description of the scientist's view about the value of the space program. (CC)

Describes the principles and uses of thermoluminescence technique in dating of pottery and ceramic pieces and establishing the authenticity of artifacts. (CC)

A brief review of how we know that nuclear reactions are the main source of stellar energy, how they synthesize the elements, and how they determine the course of stellar evolution. (Author/TS)
