The following report describes the high pressure and temperature homogeneous reactor experiment which has been started at Los Alamos, as well as the hazards and safety aspects for the experiments.

The hiring schedule was reviewed by the same method that was used in the reference letter with essentially the same results; that is, that we should hire approximately 125 technical graduates during the hiring year 1953-54. In the belief that possibly this method was a bit too crude for this stage of the Plant development, I have applied another one, which I believe is fairly independent of the previous method of calculation since it is directed at a consideration of only people required who have a technical background.

This report studies the reactions between gaseous uranium hexafluoride and several gaseous reagents for possible analytical application that has been underway while using a buggy designed for gaseous titration studies. This study primarily focuses on methods to analyze gases containing uranium hexafluoride and physically absorbed uranium hexafluoride.
