Pyrometallurgical Purification of Plutonium Reactor Fuels

Description: Pyrometallurgical methods studied are liquation, self-drossing and filtration, slagging by the addition of oxide, carbide, or halide, liquid metal extraction, complete conversion to halide, followed by filtration and selective reduction of the plutonium, and electrorefininng. Experimental techniques and results are presented for each method. (auth)

FUNDAMENTALS OF DIFFUSIONAL BONDING--II. Second Annual Progress Report, June 30, 1956 to June 30, 1957

Description: The study of the kinetics of layer growth in the aluminum -- nickel system and the effect thereon of applied pressure has been continued. Additional information has been obtained about the growth of the beta phase, and a method was developed whereby the kinetics of growth of the beta phase could be investigated. The implications of Vasileff's equations which provide the solution for interdiffusion in a three-phase two-component system have been examined semi-analytically, and quantitative insig… more

FUNDAMENTALS OF SINTERING--II. Second Annual Progress Report, June 30, 1956 to June 30, 1957

Description: Rates of spheroidization and densification of gold and of nickel wire compacts were measured as a function of time, temperature, and wire size. The necks joining the sintered particles were found to grow proportionally to the one- fifth root of time. The value of the coefficient of self-difiusion calculated from the sintering rate is of the sane order of magnitude as that obtained by ordinary tracer techniques but with a somewhat higher activation energy. These results are entirely consistent w… more

Corrosion in 650°F Degassed Water of Uranium-Molybdenum Alloys Containing Impurity Additions

Description: At the request of WAPD, a study has been made of the effect of minor compositional variables on the corrosion behavior or uranium-molybdenum alloys in 650°F degassed water. Ternary additions of the following elements were made of both cast and wrought uranium-10.5 w/o and 12.0 w/o molybdenum alloys.
