Introduction: Studies of uranium-vanadium occurrences in the Four Corners region show that, with the exception of the Lukachuai area, all of the major deposits in the Morrison formation are grouped around the various igneous masses which are scattered irregularly throughout the Colorado Plateau. The pattern of deposition varies from mountain group to mountain group and each will be described separately. Maps accompany this report to supplement the descriptions of ore occurrences in the vicinity of the La Sal, Abajo, Carrizo, and Henry mountains. Elsewhere, it is believed that a written description will suffice.

The following report provides data that was discovered from a preliminary literature survey that was made to define the utility of the newer refractory ceramics or ceramic-based materials.

Several experiments have been performed at ORNL with light water solutions of uranyl nitrate (highly enriched in either U^233 or U^235) in an essentially bare sphere 27 inches in diameter. This report presents the results of several calculations with elementary bare reactor theory and a discussion of the observed discrepancies between the calculated and experimental results. If the observed critical concentration is used in the calculations, the calculated effective multiplication constant is less than unity' thus a higher critical concentration would be predicted than is actually observed.

In the operation of nuclear reactors, nuclear fuel reprocessing plants and in-pile experiments, special provision must be made for disposal of gaseous fission products to prevents contamination of the atmosphere to an unacceptable degree. A disposal process is described in which the noble gas fission products, krypton and xenon, are delayed relative to the sweep gas by physical adsorption as they pass through an adsorbent such as activated charcoal. A theoretical plate analysis, and has been verified experimentally. The retention time for a gas present in trace concentration is proportional to the amount of charcoal in the adsorber bed and to the adsorption coefficient which is evaluated experimentally for a particular combination of materials and conditions. The retention time is inversely proportional to the volume flow rate if the sweep gas.

The use of mercury as a solvent in the recovery of uranium from spent fuels is of the interest at Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The vapor pressure of mercury is lowered by increased concentration of uranium. By dew-point measurements, the vapor pressure at 175°C was found to very between 2 and 8mm of mercury, and at 375°C, between 300 and 1100 mm of mercury, depending upon composition as described below. Plots of the log of mercury vapor pressure vs. the reciprocal of absolute temperature gave a family of straight lines. Each line corresponded to one of the composition: UHg2, UHg3, UHg4, and a saturated solution of UHg4 in Hg. No Mutual solubility of the intermetallics was indicated.

Quarterly progress on the metabolic properties of various materials, radiation chemistry, biological studies of radiation effects, health chemistry, health physics.

The experiments described in this report were designed to explore the feasibility of precipitating plutonium from 35 percent TBP in Gulf BT using peroxide, fluoride, sulfide, sulfite, sulfate, cocalate, hydroxide, iodate and phosphate ions from anhydrous, dilute and concentrated aqueous sources.

The OCUSOL-A program (ORNL-CF-57-6-4) for Univac is a modification of the Eyewash (ORNL-1925) multi-group, multi-region reactor code. The group=energy-lethargy-temperature relationship are given in Table A. The element code numbers are given in Table B. The cross sections now on the sigma-tape are given in tables in the Appendix numbered with the element code number. This technical report explains the bases for choosing the cross sections.

An investigation of the causes of observed explosive reaction of zirconium-coated uranium dioxide on dissolution in nitric acid was conducted. It was concluded that such a reaction is to be expected. Possible but unconfirmed methods of alleviating the problem are suggested.
