    Evaluation of the use of gamma radiation in sewage treatment
    (Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1974-12) Bonhote, PA; Clouston, JG; Ford, GWK; Gregory, JN
    Literature evaluating the potential use of gamma radiation for the treatment of sewage is critically reviewed. It is concluded that irradiation treatment cannot contribute significantly to the improvement of conventional processes for sewage water recovery. Irradiation methods at present have no cost or technical advantage, and no proven biological advantage over known treatment systems.

    Progress report for Nuclear Technology Division, September 1980 - June 1982
    (Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1982-06) Ford, GWK
    Major areas of research and development in both fission and fusion technology are reported. Work in fission technology includes neutronics and fluid heat transfer studies primarily dedicated to the support of HIFAR reactor operation. A small experimental program has been established to investigate the neutronics of fusion reactor blanket configurations. The methods and data libraries developed for fission reactor core analyses have been modified and extended to allow their effective use in fusion reactor blanket problems. A list of publications is included.
