Section 9.0 is the "Chemical Processes for Fission Product Concentration, Removal or Fixation" section of the Status Report on the Disposal of Radioactive Wastes. The report is divided into four areas: (1) Introduction; (2) Summary of waste processes; (3) Concept of a multipurpose waste processing facility; and (4) Details of some of the waste processes.

Report containing ongoing research and experiments of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Instrumentation and Controls Division.

Several potential hazards that have been recognized and anticipated in the design and fabrication of the pressure vessel in the Homogeneous Reactor Test are discussed. These hazards results from the high operating pressure and temperature of the reactor, the exposure of the reactor vessel material to potential embrittlement and other affects of fast-neutron irradiation, and the need for containment of corrosive flowing liquids. The steps taken in recognition of these hazards are also discussed. The applicability of present codes to the reactor vessel fabrication is considered. Additional fields are suggested where recommended practices developed by code writing bodies could assist in development-type reactor design and fabrication.

Report issued by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory discussing quarterly progress of the Homogeneous Reactor Project. Progress of operations, design, development, and analysis is presented. This report includes tables, illustrations, and photographs.
