Quarterly progress report on metallurgy research operations at Hanford Atomic Products Operation in Richland, Washington.

The Chapman-Jouguet pressure and equation of state of the high explosives PBX 9404 and LX04-01 have been experimentally derived. To assure a strictly one-dimensional geometry, spheres of high explosives were used. Experimental measurements of the radius-time history of material accelerated by the explosive gases were used in conjunction with finite difference calculations of the hydrodynamic equations to obtain some previous inaccessible data on high explosives.

The angle errors of a rotary table can be accurately measured by stepping off the angles with an optical caliper and computing table error from (1) the error readings at each angle measured and (2) the cumulative caliper error that will be evident when the circle is closed at 360', eliminating the necessity of adjusting the caliper to the exact setting.

At present there seem to be some uncertainties concerning the needs of rupture detection for the co-producer programs Also in question is the method by which ruptures of the target elements should be detected and located. The purpose of this report is to discuss the waste and hazard control of tritium (H{sup 3}) (the product of the co-producer program), which will determine rupture detection needs, and to discuss methods by which rupture detection and location may be accomplished. The scope of the report considers first, adaptation of the present rupture monitoring system, and second, monitoring systems using H{sup 3} analyzers, together with the costs and time required to develop and use each method of rupture detection.

Design criteria are given for the ORNL High- and Intermediate-Level Liquid Waste Facility. (J.R.D.)

Four zirconium fuel processes -the present STR process, the modified Zirflex process, the barium fluorzirconate process, and the sodium formate process-were evaluated in detail for technical and economic feasibility. The evaluation was based on installation as the second generation ldaho Chemical Processing Plant zirconium process. Two nonaqueous processes, the ARCO and the fused salt fluoride volatility processes, were included in a preliminary evaluation, but were eliminated on the basis that major problems inherent in the processes are not yet solved. A continuous version of the STR process was concluded to be the leading contender for rmmediate plant applicator. (auth)

A philosophy for designing wideband multistage transistor amplifiers is discussed. The amplifier is visualized as an integral unit, the interstage networks constituting the elements of the amplifier unit. By designing the amplifier as a unit and adjusting the over-all response (gain and bandwidth) with the interstage time constants, an increase in gainbandwidth product is realized over the iteratively designed amplifiers. The resulting increase in gain- bandwidth product results from absence of the bandwidth shrinkage factor for multistage amplifiers. Formulas are derived for both a two- and three-transistor integrally designed wideband amplifier, in which shunt peaking networks are used for coupling. Experimental amplifiers were constructed following these formulas, and the observed performance agreed with the calculations. (auth)

MACE is a Monte Carlo code, written for the IBM 7090, to evaluate the efficiency of radiation collimators in terms of the ratio of collided to uncollided flux reaching a target. The analysis can be performed with as many as 30 energy groups. Up to 5 materials (8 elements) may be used in the description of the collimator system. Provisions are included for specification of source particle density and angular distribution functions and for tilt of the source plane with respect to the axis of the collimator. (auth)
