Introduction: "During the last quarter, members of the Chemical Development Group have been concerned with six major projects. (1) thermal and radiation properties of organic materials as moderators and coolants, (2) thermal and radiation stability of mirconium hydride, (e) reactor accessibility (transport of radioactive materials in cooling systems, ................. There have been, in addition, a number of smaller service projects, mostly of an analytical nature.:

Purpose: "This test was conducted to gain information and experience in the handling of heavy aggregate concrete. The results from this test were to establish procedures for a subsequent program -- "Construction Test of High Density Concrete Shielding.""

A simple method of solving for the phase shifts of the pion-proton scattering is presented. The rapid solution afforded can be utilized, as the Ashkin diagrams have been employed, to give starting values to an electronic computer or alternatively to analyze with more ease the variation of the phase shifts as a function of the input data in terms of the coefficients of the angular distributions. A new plot of a function of the total cross section versus the pion energy is introduced. The nearly straight line resulting should help to evaluate the experimental data.

The following report discusses the production of three types of fluorine cells for the Manhattan Project's fluorine generation program: the high temperature fluorine cell operating at a temperature of 240 C., the low temperature cell operating at a temperature of 30 C., and the medium temperature cell operating at a temperature of 100 C.

Results of eight runs using in-line U photometers in organic and aqueous streams of the Purex Hot Semi-Works are presented. Their operation, both mechanically and electrically, was satisfactory, indicating changes in stream U concentrations over wide ranges.

Flowsheet considerations and information developed for the large (size 2) Purex pulse generator⁽¹⁾ indicated the need for information on the operating characteristics of the small (size 1) Purex pulse generator.

The effect of prolonged heating of cold worked Ziracloy-2 at a temperature of 360°C on the mechanical properties of the material was investigated.

The effect of the (n, 2n) and (n, o<) reactions on the neutron economy of a beryllium moderated reactor is investigated.

Under the general heading of Reactor Lattices are reported a new method of calculating resonance escape probabilities, results for the effective mass of a proton bound in the water molecule, and a comparison of similar techniques for calculating lattice constants developed independently by Hanford physicists and by a school of Russian physicists (as reported at the Geneva Conference). An estimate of maximum errors in f and η for thermal systems is described. Experiments and analysis thereof on the effects of neutron streaming in air channels through a moderator are reported. Buckling calculations and experimental results are given for graphite lattices employing 1.17-inch diameter natural uranium slugs and U²³⁵-Aluminum alloy slugs. An experimental measurement of the critical mass of an annular cylindrical array is described. Some measurements on, and the status of, construction of the Lattice Testing Reactor are reported. Under Instrumentation, development of a BF/sub 3/ counter suitable for operation at elevated temperatures is described. Some measurements on, and the status of, construction of the Lattice Testing Reactor are reported. Under Instrumentation, development of a BF₃ counter suitable for operation at elevated temperatures is described. A method of determining the screening parameter in the Thomas-Fermi model of the atom is …

The purpose of the test was to observe the extent and location of corrosion, crud deposits and defects in components of the primary fluid system and its auxiliaries. This observation will allow an estimate to be made of the future behavior of the affected parts. The test also provides for obtaining corrosion products and crud samples for analysis as necessary for planning remedial actions. This test was limited to the 1D Main Coolant Pump which failed November 3, 1958. The pump failed after 2234 hours of operation on "fast" speed and 887 hours at "slow" speed. An inspection for corrosion was not conducted but smear samples were taken and a radiochemical analysis made. This analysis showed the following isotopes were present in the smear sample: Co38, Co60, Fe59, Mn54, Hf191 and Zr95. The upper and lower radial pump bearings and journals were severely scored and galled while the thrust bearing and runner appear to be in good condition.

The purpose of the test was to obtain performance data for the main coolant pumps on fast and slow speed at various coolant temperatures. The 1A, 1B and 1C pump performances on both fast and slow speed were approximately as shown in the manufacture's predicted performance curve. The 1D pump performance was below the manufacturer's predicted flow efficiency, line current and hydraulic horsepower on both fast and slow speeds.
