A method for measuring the rate of leaching of /sup 137/Cs from cement grouts was investigated as an alternate to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) method which requires long experimental times. The effects of curing time (10, 20, and 30 days) and the type of leachant (tap and saline water) on the amount of /sup 137/Cs leached were studied. Mathematical models for mass transport phenomena for both finite cylindrical geometry and a semi-infinite medium were developed to analyze the data. It was found that the models for diffusion of /sup 137/Cs with depletion of the species due to curing provided the best correlation of the data. The proposed method was found to give values of the mass transport coefficients within a factor of 2 to 10 of the IAEA test results. Diffusion coefficients were found to be in the range of 10/sup -9/ to 10/sup -11/ cm/sup 2//sec and depletion rate constants in the range of 10/sup -6/ to 10/sup -8/ sec/sup -1/.

An x-ray fluorescence technique has been evaluated for measuring the coating thickness of two coating-substrate combinations. A quantitative theory has been developed in conjunction with the experimental data to support the results of the investigation. Results of measurements of zinc coatings on iron and nickel coatings on uranium are given. (auth)

A filler-wire feeder and positioner device is described for electron- beam welding to provide automatic features that are necessary for efficient wire feeding in a vacuum chamber. The feeder can accommodate as many as nine individual weld passes and is programmed by the use of dial switches. The positioner has three axes of movement, each of which can be controlled from the exterior of the vacuum chamber of the electron-beam welding machine. These area of movement are used to locate, precisely, the wire feed nozzle in relation to the weld joint groove and to raise or lower the nozzle between weld passes. (auth)
