Discussion of laboratory tests to reduce uranium corrosion.

Evidence is presented which points to (at least) two bound forms of bacteriochlorophyll present in chromatophores of Rhodospirillum rubrum, both of them readily converted to unbound bacteriochlorophyll (abs. max. 770 mu) when the chromatophores are extracted with acetone or ethanol. Controlled oxidation of the chromatophores with Ir(IV) or with Zn(II) and ferricyanide preferentially destroys the more strongly absorbing pigment (abs. max. 880 mu) but brings about only a slight decrease in the magnitude of the photoinduced absorption changes at 810 and 792 mu. Such oxidations yield a new pigment, absorbing at 715 mu in the aqueous preparation and, more strongly, at 680-684 mu when the pigment is extracted into organic solvents. This pigment is formed irreversibly and is therefore different from the material formed by photooxidation of chromatophores. Its visible spectrum and the spectrum of the material formed from it by acidification suggest that it is a chlorophyll-like substance, possibly derived from bacteriochlorophyll by (two-electron) oxidation of one of the dihydropyrrole rings to a pyrrole ring. Directions are given for separation of this pigment from other colored compounds present in the oxidation mixtures.

Production Test IP-546-A. consisting of 20 charges for the purpose of irradiating the first hot die sized fuel elements was charged in C-Reactor July 27, 1963. A second tests PT-IP-616-A containing a total of 19 charges had been charged on two separate outages; 13 land 6 tubes on September 28, 1963 and October 30, 1963, respectively. Fabrication of test quantities was becoming more routine and additional irradiation tests were planned. This report summarizes the fabrication of hot die sized fuel elements originally intended for Production Test IP-630-A, but changed to ``Supplement ``A`` to Production Test IP-546-A, Irradiation of Diffusion Bonded Fuel Elements,`` HW-75465 E. The production test was changed due to unexpected growth behavior of hot die sized fuel during irradiation.

During the major part of October the N-Reactor was shut down for dump condenser repair, scheduled maintenance and equipment modifications. Work on dump condensers was successfully completed and the construction and tie-in of steam generator cell No. 4 was accomplished. Power ascension was initiated on October 24 and the N-Reactor in now operating with all five steam generator cells in full service. Process physics, in-plant testing, and technical activities are described in this document.
