A preliminary definition of a fabrication process for ferritic stainless steel-UO/sub 2/ fuel clad with Type 430 stainiess steel has been achieved. The procedure is an adaptation of an earlier process for preparing austenitic fuel elements, and consists of the cold-binder extrusion of a plastic powder dispersion which is fired in dry hydrogen, fitted with welded end caps, and electroplated with nickel. This core is inserted into a length of type 430 stainless steel cladding and the assembly is bonded by hot-swaging at 800 C. The irradiation performance of such a fuel element was examined by means of an MTR test. The results of this test strongly indicated that the desired lowering of UO/sub 2/ particle operating temperature was realized and that ferritic stainless steel is not unduly susceptible to irradiation dannage.

Forces and moments of store-pylon combination mounting on swept wing-fuselage configuration in supersonic pressure tunnel. The results of the investigation indicate that the most important source of store-pylon side forces is the pylon itself.

Report presenting the performance of a two-dimensional side inlet with a technique of varying compression-surface angle while retaining a fixed-geometry diffuser at several Mach numbers and zero angle of attack. A 12 degree compression ramp was faired into the diffuser contour in this conventional manner. Results regarding the inlet flow field, application to reduced engine speeds, and a inlet performance with a sudden expansion in the diffuser are provided.

Core specimens of Zr alloys such as Nb--Zr and Fe-Nb-Zr were in-pile corrosion tested. Operating conditions are summarized for these and former similar tests. The corrosion solution contained UO/sub 2/SO/sub 4/, CuSO/sub 4/, and H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/, with a make-up solution composed of UO/sub 2/SO/sub 4/, CuSO/sub 4/, H/sub 2/SO/sub 4/, and Cr. Corrosion rites ire tabulated and presented graphically. (J.R.D.)

Observations of the performance of the Idaho Chemical Processing Plant as modified for continuous dissolution and TBP lst cycle extraction, as to process chemistry and process engineering are reported for the initial plantscale full-irradiation-level operating run. As-operated flowsheets, the results of plant scale tests of the continuous dissolver, and fission prcduct decontamination data are emphasized. (auth)

Report presenting an investigation of a semispan model of a possible vertical-take-off-and-landing jet bomber configuration at a range of Mach numbers. The primary objective was to determine to the effects of jet interference, horizontal-tail location, and canard controls on the longitudinal stability characteristics of the model.

"A method is outlined for calculating the trajectories, through the magnetic field of the following magnet pair of positive and negative particles of different momenta produced in a target. Representative trajectories were computed by this method and are given numerically."
