Methods are presented for the analysis of 41 refractory materials. An evaluation of the accuracy and the precision of these techniques are also given The materials studied are the borides of hafnium, molybdenum, niobiumL rhenium, tantalum, thorium, titanium, tungsten, uranium vanadium, and zirconium; the carbides of hafnium molybdenum, miobium, silicon, tantalum, thorium, titanium, tungsten, uranium, vanadium, and zircomium; the nitrides of boron, hafnium, niobium, silicon, tantalum, titanium, uranium, and zirconium; the silicides of molybdenum, rhenium, tantalum, titanium, tungsten, vanadium, and zirconium; and mixed carbides of uranium with hafnium, niobium, tantalum, or zirconium.

This compilation contains 202 abstracts of reports and documents on subjects related to maritime reactor safety; the abstracts are indexed in thc AEC Abstracts of Classified Reports'' (ACR). These ACR references were listed as unclassified or declassified in TID-4021, TID-40.35, and TID-4035, Supplement 1. The abstracts were selected as a part of the preparation of the classified bibliography (ALI-50, printed August 30, 1958) on this same subject. (See also SO-6200, Septcmber 15, 1957, unclassified.) The abstracts are grouped according to the category of information they present; within each category, the most recent abstracts are given first. Subject, author, and report number indices are provided. A report number code key is not included. The report numbers used by the AEC Technical Information Service can be found in TID-85 (1st Rev.). The abstracts are those indexed through ACR Vol. 13 (1957). Because of the lag in abstracting, reports issued in late 1957 are not likely to be included. (auth)
