Progress in fuels and materials development is reported. Irradiation tests on powdered UAl/sub 3/ intermetallic compounds demonstrated good stability and fission gas retention capabilities. Developmental aluminum powder metal products showed good corrosion resistance at high temperatures while retaining excellent high temperature strength. All of the fuel compositions tested (UO/sub 2/, U/sub 3/O/sub 8/, and UAl/sub 3/ in aluminum matrices) exhibited density decreases under irradiation. Tensile tests on sandwich-type fuel plates at elevated temperatures indicated that the fuel plate strength is strongly influenced by the core material rather than dependent primarily on the cladding material as was found true of lower (MTR) temperatures. Three capsules containing beryllium were inserted in the ETR, in order to determine strength, gas release, and growth during a high-temperature (600--800 deg C) irradiation. An MTR fuel element employing advanced metallurgical techniques to optimize the hydraulic and heat transfer characteristics was fuily irradiated in the MTR. The fuel element consisted of 32 plates containing 250 g U/sup 235/ in a U/sub 3/O/ sub 8/--Al dispersion. A prototype ETR fuel element was made without side plates. (M.C.G.)

Death certificate of Lee Harvey Oswald. Oswald died at Parkland Hospital of a hemorrhage secondary to a gunshot wound to the chest.

A detailed examination was made of one of three plutonium-238 fueled SNAP 3 heat sources which was shipped from Mound Laboratory in May 1961 and returned in May 1963,. Examination of source included radiography, calorimetry, dimensional inspection, radiation measurements, internal pressure measurements, metallographic examinations of the containers, and recovery and impurity analysis of the plutonium fuel. Results showed that the inner tantalum container of the source failed at the weld, allowing the plutonium to the escape and to attack the Haynes Alloy 25 outer container. Failure at the weld was attributed to the fact that the plutonium had become molten at some time during its use and to poor welding of the liner during fabrication of the source, and not to corrosion of plutonium on the tantalum. It was concluded that tantalum is a satisfactory container material for plutonium at temperature below the melting point of plutonium (640°C).
