Vol. 16, No. 3, ( 1983)
- Paradox of the Striped Bass: ORNL Fishes for Answers. An ocean fish is declining in marine water but thriving in fresh water, except in some lakes during the summer. That's a paradox, and so is the fact that many of the experts who understand what's going on with this coastal fish reside in the hills of East Tennessee.
- Cable-in-Conduit Superconductors: A Story of Science in the Making. The plasma fuel of fusion reactors must be confined by the fields of powerful magnets. Means for designing internally cooled superconductors for such magnets have been developed at ORNL. During the development, ORNL 's scientists encountered a few surprises.
- Monoclonal Antibodies and Cancer. ORNL biologists have used these "magic bullets" produced by modern biotechnology to cure some mice with solid tumors. These products of the fusion of two types of cells show promise in treating and detecting some human cancers.
- Clean Water from Synfuels Plants. Synthetic fuel plants will need large volumes of water for the process of converting coal to oil. Water from the converted coal could be used but it is dirty. ORNL has tested a combination of processes that clean up the water enough for recycle or for discharge under anticipated regulations.
- The Staying Power of the High-Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor. The national HTGR program has faced extinction for five years but Congress continues to save it. Because of its high-temperature heat, its potential for efficient power generation, and its excellent safety features, the HTGR concept may be too good to discard.
- Health Risks of Energy Technologies: The Experts' Views. A book edited by two ORNL researchers sheds light on this volatile issue. In an interview, the two editors discuss the results and problems of risk analyses made by the experts.
- Editorial. Herman Postma critiques the critiques of national laboratories.

- Life at the End of the Periodic Table. Scientists at ORNL's Transuranium Research Laboratory are exploring the properties of heavy, man-made elements and participating in the quest for superheavy elements.
- Neutron Scattering: A Tool to Probe Biological Structures. Neutrons from reactors can be used to determine the changes that occur in giant molecules such as genes and enzymes as their environment is altered.
- Safeguarding Reprocessing Plants (Second in a series of two articles). The internal rather than the external adversary may be more of a threat.

Vol. 16, No. 1, ( 1983)
- A Novel Way To Grow Anaerobic Bacteria. Membrane particles from bacteria found in the human gut can remove oxygen and thus hasten the growth of useful, oxygen-shunning organisms.
- Modeling Air Pollution. Mathematical models developed at ORNL could help regions expecting new coal-burning power plants to stay in compliance with environmental regulations. The models also suggest a need far new standards that could reduce total sulfur dioxide while saving industry money.
- Fuel Reprocessing: A Futuristic Look. ORNL's Integrated Equipment Test facility embodies state-of-the-art technology.
- Hot Water District Heating for St. Paul. ORNL planted the seed, DOE nourished it with $2 million, and various levels of government, private industry, and Sweden provided the advice and money to help an exciting energy conservation project see the light of day.
- Community Incentives for Hosting Nuclear Waste Repositories. A few.guarantees and inducements might make a town more willing to accept the unwanted facility.
