A test irradiation of lithium was recently completed in one of the Hanford K Reactors. It is requested that these lithium-aluminum alloy targets be separated and analyzed for tritium content. This request is for the analysis to be performed on two groups or batches of samples. The first group would be 38 elements with a total gas content estimated to be approximately 97 liters. The second batch would consist of 76 elements with a total gas content estimated to be approximately 193 liters. This then would be followed by an analysis of the combined gas content of both batches.

During April the N-Reactor operated with a time operated efficiency of 70.8%; and a production availability and steam availability to Washington Public Power Supply System of 68.5%. No fuel element failures occurred. A scheduled outage (April 18 to 25) was used to complete planned maintenance, accomplish the modifications required for the 4,800 Mw power level probe, and for charging the fourth increment of the coproduct demonstration load. Fuel element input production was 100% of forecast. Output production was 110% of forecast, significantly improving finished-fuel inventories and reducing in-process material levels. Calendar-year-to-date output is 102% of forecast. There are now 844 columns of coproduct fuel in the reactor. Two columns of high exposure, 1.96% enriched, coproduct fuel (discharged during March) were examined. These fuels had attained a tube average exposure of 4,094 Mwd/t and operated at uranium temperatures of 550 C to 475 C (temperature range predicted for Mark 5 fuel). Cladding buckling was minimal. The superior performance is attributed to the 800 ppm Al plus 400 ppm Fe uranium alloy. Flow testing of the prototypic Mark 4 fuel continued during the month. Flow split data are being used to redesign the support system to balance the flow in the coolant …

A solid-state diffusion bond is produced at the end bonding step of the Hot-Die-Size (HDS) process as the aluminum cladding is placed in intimate contact nickel-plated uranium core for a finite period of time at an elevated temperature. The combination of these required parameters of time, temperature, and intimate contact (pressure) may be varied within certain limits and still produce a quality diffusion bond. Through nondestructive and destructive testing, fuels end bonded at the higher pressure proved to be of equal quality to those produced under standard conditions. Bond testers indicated no significant difference between test and control fuels. This was verified with bond strengths that were equivalent to those of control fuels. Metallographic data also confirmed the formation of a thinner, apparently more uniform, bond on the test fuels than on the controls. X-ray data that defined the longitudinal growth showed no significant difference between test and control fuels. The objective of the testing covered in this document was to reduce the end-bonding cycle time on the four-station prototype end bonder.
