The Met-L-X storage unit and fixed-pipe system performed adequately, but the distribution provided by the nozzles as located is not satisfactory. Relocation of the nozzles does not appear to offer much promise for improvement because the number of nozzles required would necessitate a piping array nearly impossible to design or install around existing equipment. It would leave little room for equipment to be protected in a new installation. The tests reported did not address the question of whether Met-L-X powder will extinguish a sodium fire even if properly applied.

This report describes a simple, efficient, and flexible program for cubic spline interpolation in one dimension, suitable for inclusion in the ANL Subroutine Library and in an interactive timesharing system. Most of the cubic spline programs already available either restrict the boundary conditions to knowledge of the first derivative at both end points, or require the second derivatives to vanish at these points. The program described here removes these restrictions and enables the user to adopt boundary conditions appropriate for his own problem. The advantage is demonstrated for the extreme case of interpolating the function x log (1/x), which has singularities in all its derivatives at x = 0.

The irradiation behavior of reactor graphites at high temperatures (500/sup 0/ to 1400/sup 0/C) to high fluences (up to 4 x 10/sup 22/ n/cm/sup 2/) is reviewed. Recent data generated during the period 1965 through 1971 are emphasized. The review covers graphite manufacture, irradiation damage, dimensional and structural changes, thermal expansion, thermal conductivity, Young's modulus, strength, and irradiation-induced creep.

During the quarter covered by this progress report (December 15, 1971 to March 15, 1972), the effects of variations in arterial pressure and heart rate on cardiac ouiput, efficiency as measured at the heart diaphragm, maximum air chamber pressure, average input power to the heart diaphragm, maximum blood chamber pressure and volumetric efficiency have been determined at various atrial pressures for a 7 cm base Kwan-Gett artificial heart made of smooth Silastic and equipped with Silastic flap inflow and Silastic tricuspid outflow valves. One animal experiment has been completed in which the in vitro measurements made on the artificial heart were verified in vivo. A second animal experiment in which the output power of the artificial heart will be determined over a long period of time is now in progress. Preliminary consideration has been given to the establishment of a nuclear powered artificial heart system in vitro test program. A preliminary design of an artificial heart to be driven by a nuclear engine has been drawn. (auth)
