CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DIVISION SUMMARY REPORT FOR APRIL, MAY, JUNE 1960
7 9 7 D 8 8 9 9 7 7 ; 8 < fuel-reprocessing plant using pyrometallurgical procedures is being designed and constructed as part of the Experimental Breeder Reactor No. 2 project. Cable samples sealed with Temporell No. 741 were irradiated to 3.0 x lO/sup 9/ rad. Tests of the absorber-type fume trap were successful. Preparations were continued for high- activitylevel demonstrations of the melt-refining process for EBR-2 core fuel. An attractive and efficient procedure for removing uranium skull material from a melt-refining crucible is to convent it to free-flowing oxide powder by oxidation with a dilute oxygen- argon mixture at 700 to 800 deg C. Two complete runs were made for both demonstrating and pin-pointing difficulties in the drag-out or skullreclamation process. Investigation of the reduction of uranium oxides by liquid magnesium alloys was continued. Two runs were made to demonstrate recovery of plutonium from a magnesium solution by distillation of the magnesium. Operation of a mild steel corrosion loop for circulating a U-Mg- Cd alloy at 550 deg C was terminated after 4800 hr of trouble-free operation. The solubility of titanium in liquid cadmium was found to vary between 0.047 at.% at 449 deg C to 0.15 …

CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DIVISION SUMMARY REPORT, JANUARY, FEBRUARY, MARCH 1961
8 7 < 6 ; : : = 8 g developed for recovering fissionable and fertile materials from shortcooled reactor fuels. The second laboratory demonstration of the melt-refining process with highly irradiated EBR- IItype fuel pins was completed. A 392-g charge of U-5% fissium fuel pins irradiated to an estimated burnup of 0.4 total at.% and cooled 28 days was melt refined for three hours at 1400 deg C. Data were not obtained on the behavior of fission products. The effect of N concentration on the nitridation rates of unirradiated U-fissium alloys in Ar-N atmospheres was determined. Experiments on the storage of fuel pins at 350 deg C in Ar atmospheres showed that the presence of 5% N lowered product yields only slightly during subsequent melt-refining operations. Supplementary pouring techniques, such as the use of probes and mashers designed to break crusts over the melts, are moderately effective, but are a less desirable solution to the problem of maintaining high yields than the elimination of contaminants in the Ar atmosphere. A liquid metal process is under development for recovery of the fissionable material contained in melt refining crucible skulls produced in the EBR-II fuel cycle. Information obtained in separate studies …

Deuterium-Hydrogen Exchange in Boehmite Corrosion Product Formed on Pure Aluminum in Boiling Water
Proton-deuteron exchange is rapid in boehmite corrosion product formed on pure aluminum in boiling water. In addition, deuterated boehmite films undergo rapid exchange with the humidity of the atmosphere. This explains the previously reported anomaly in the H-D exchange rate for the growing corrosion product on 1100 aluminum. (auh)

Development of Clad Ceramic Fuel Plates by Spray-Coating Techniques. Final Report, Phase I
Activities in a program to develop techniques of plasma spraying clad plate-type UO/sub 2/ fuel elements are reported. The investigation was also directed toward determining the limitations of the process as applied to fuel element fabrication. UO/sub 2/ powder coatings having densities of 90% theoretical were produced. At conditions required for spraying plates, densities of 86% appear to be practical. The rate and efficiency of UO/sub 2/ coating deposition were also determined for various spraying conditions. Gritblasting was found to provide the best surface for coating adherence. The O/U ratio of the UO/sub 2/ was maintained by spraying in an Ar atmosphere. Zircaloy-2 was found to be the most desirable cladding material. Cladding thicknesses of 0.035 in. are required in distortion-free 2-in.-wide plates. (J.R.D.)

Development of Clad Ceramic Fuel Plates by Spray-Coating Techniques. Quarterly Technical Progress Report, January-March 1961
The development of plasma-jet spray-coating techniques for producing clad ceramic fuel plates is discussed. Conditions for spraying fused UO/sub 2/ powder were established by depositing cones on stationary substrates. It was found that the arc-gas flow range within which deposition occurs is very narrow. Coatings were made from --200 +325, --270 + 325, and de-slimed -325 mesh fused UO/ sub 2/ powders. To provide data regarding the economics of the process, deposition rates and efficiencies were determined under various conditions. The effects of powder size, power input, arcgas flow rate, spray distance, traverse rate, power feed rate, powder-gas flow rate, and cover-gas flow rate on deposition efficiency are discussed. Oxygen-to-uranium ratios of coatings made for evaluation of density were determined by gravimetric and volumetric methods. Preparation of the surface without distortion for plasma spraying is discussed. Fixturing and instrumentation methods were designed for measuring substrate and coating temperatures during spraying of typical fuel-element-cladding thickesses of stainless steel and Zircaloy-2.

DEVELOPMENT OF PLUTONIUM BEARING FUEL MATERIALS. Progress Report for Period April 1 through June 30, 1961
BS>Activities are discussed for work done in the preparation of PuO/sub 2/ using the continuous oxalate process, and continuous coprecipitation studies using a uranium-20 wt% plutonium nitrate feed solution. Characterization studies of the PuO/sub 2/ powders indicated that variations in the processing variables can affect the final product. Measurements with the B. E. T. and Innes apparatus confirmed that the specific surface area of the initial batch of the PuO/sub 2/ powder had increased appreciably during storage. Deltatherm differential thermal analysis apparatus was checked out. Procedures were devised for the determination of plutonium and uranium. Sintering studies were continued for pure PuO/sub 2/, and sintering trials were begun for mechanically mixed and coprecipitated PuO/sub 2/ and UO/sub 2/. Metallographic examinations of PuO/sub 2/ sintered pellets revealed a microstructural feature similar to eutectoid structures in alloys. Mechanical packing experiments were carried out using crushed UO/sub 2/ pellets fired to high density. Plasma torch production of UO/ sub 2/ indicates that excellent spheroidization is attained, but central voids were found in the pellets. Reactor physics studies were completed for the analysis of the potential of plutonium as a fuel in near-thermal converter and straight burner reactors. Plutonium was shown to be promising …

Fuel Cycle Program, a Boiling Water Reactor Research and Development Program. Third Quarterly Report, January 1961-March 1961
The continuing analysis of the VBWR core resulted in refinements in the calculations for reactivity in voids, flux leakage and resonance escape probability. The Zircaloy cladding for 25 fuel assemblies was received and passed inspection. Preliminary measurements of VBWR flux oscillations, used to develop instrumentation and data interpretation techniques, showed random normally-distributed oscillations with a predominant frequency of 0.5 to 1.0 cycles/second. A model for analog computer simulation of a reactor as a feedback control system was adapted to VBWR. Equations for the hydraulics model and preliminary results from use of the model are presented. Irradiation of the Fuel Cycle stainless steel clad assemblies reached 412 MWD/T with specific powers of 28 kw/kg (average) and 52 kw/kg (peak) during January. Visual examination of the fuel after this irradiation indicated that it is in good condition. The VBWR was shut down during February and March for replacement of all in-core components made of 17-4 pH stainless steel with 304 stainless steel. The details of the first eight special fuel assemblies were determined and materials were ordered. The effects of steam quality, mass flow rate, and rod diameter on burnout heat flux are shown. The burnout heat flux varied inversely with mass …
