Waste supernate stored in Tank 11H was analyzed periodically from May 1973-August 1975 to determine the rate of nitrite ingrowth by radiolytic decomposition of nitrate. This waste was transferred to tank 33F in accordance with TA 2-892, Rev. 1, 'Use of Cracked Tank for Fresh High Level Waste,' during the week of November 10, 1975. This letter summarizes analytical and corrosion characterization which indicate that this transfer should not increase the risk of stress corrosion cracking in F Area non-stress-relieved tanks. An interpretation of the nitrite ingrowth data is presented and used as a basis for cokncluding that the crack in Tank 11H occurred early in 1974. The formation of nitrite in waste supernate was followed for 2 1/4 years during the last filling and storage cycle in 11H. The conversion of nitrate to nitrite in the 1 1/2 year period after filling was 4.9 x 10{sup -11} mol NO{sub 2}{sup -}/{ell} BTU of fission product heat. The energy released during the period was 1.15 x 10{sup 10} BTU with a corresponding increase in nitrite of 0.56 mol/{ell}. The crack that was first observed in Tank 11H in April 1974 probably made its final penetration through the wall in March …

A conceptual design study was made of a fusion-fission reactor for the purpose of producing fissile material and electricity. The fusion component is a D-T plasma confined by a pair of magnetic mirror coils in a Yin-Yang configuration and is sustained by neutral beam injection. The neutrons from the fusion plasma drive the fission assembly which is composed of natural uranium carbide fuel rods clad with stainless steel and helium cooled. It was shown conceptually how the reactor might be built using essentially present-day technology and how the uranium-bearing blanket modules can be routinely changed to allow separation of the bred fissile fuel.

Investigation of diamond turning on beryllium was made in anticipation of obtaining an optical finish. Although results of past experiences were poor, it was decided to continue diamond turning on beryllium beyond initial failures. By changing speed and using coolant, partial success was achieved. Tool wear was the major problem. Tests were made to establish and plot wear as a function of cutting speed and time. Slower speeds did cause lower wear rates, but at no time did wear reach an acceptable level. The machine, tools, and procedure used were chosen based on the results of preliminary attempts and on previous experience. It was unnecessary to use an air-bearing spindle because tool failure governed the best finish that could be expected. All tools of diamond composition, whether single crystal or polycrystalline, wore at unacceptable rates. Based on present technology, it must be concluded that beryllium cannot be feasibly diamond turned to achieve an optical finish. (22 fig.) (auth)

The LLL 2xIIB experiment is briefly described. The vacuum system uses mercury diffusion pumps and titanium sublimation. The base pressure of the guard vacuum is about 10$sup -5$ torr and about 2 x 10$sup -7$ torr in the high vacuum space using the diffusion pumps only. After titanium sublimation, the high vacuum pressure drops into the 10$sup -9$ torr range. A procedure for leak testing using a special sniffer probe is described. (MOW)
