Laboratory Development of an Electromagnetic Test for Uranium Quality

Description: An electromagnetic instrument similar to the Multitest was built and used to test 2200 uranium slugs. It was found that the equipment could be used to detect inclusions and cracks in the uranium, but that small cracks are not readily detectable on a production basis unless the material is absolutely uniform in inclusion content. The instrument can be used, however, to sort out hidden defects of a reasonable size and to reject grossly dirty uranium.

Investigation of Redox D-12 Waste Concentrator No. 2 Coil Nest Failure

Description: Four D-12 coil nests have failed since the start-up of the Redox Separations plant. Due to the high contamination and radiation levels of these vessels, the cost of decontamination has prevented the examination of all but one of the four. It was hoped that the examination of D-12 pot #2 would lead to an explanation of all four failures. This report will deal primarily with the metallurgical examination of the failure of D-12 pot #2.
