Development work was continued on the fused fluoride process for the recovery of enriched uranium from zirconium-matrix fuel alloys. The alloy is dissolved by immersing it in molten sodium fluoride-zirconium fluoride at 600°C and passing hydrogen fluoride vapor through the system.The dissolved uranium tetrafluoride in the melt is then volatilized as uranium hexafluoride by sparging with fluorine. The uranium hexafluoride product is purified and decontaminated by fractional distillation. Additional corrosion tests were made on a variety of metals in an effort to find a material of construction suitable for the fluorination step. All the metals tested, with the exception of Hastelloy B, were attacked rapidly in the fluorinated melt. The attack was particularly severe at the melt-gas interface when tests were made with partially submerged specimens of the metals.

Preface: This report presents the results of a condition survey performed on taxiway 3 at March AFB, Riverside, California, in June 1955 in accordance with addendum 3 to Instructions and Outline, "Condition Surveys for Existing Pavements."

Apparent [Sigma] hyperon decay events in a large emulsion stack of 240 9" x 12" pellicles have been classified into those judged to have occurred at rest and those in flight. Of 36 decay events at rest, 21 secondaries were observed to be protons of about 1675 microns range. Of the events decaying in flight, 23 were decays into protons and 46 were decays into near-minimum secondaries. Attempts have been made to trace the tracks of 35 of the lightly ionizing secondaries; the results of this effort are summarized in a table.

Abstract: "Components for switching large stored energies have been under development at the University of California Radiation Laboratory at Livermore. Applications and problems are discussed. Work has been done on a low inductance ignitron. A test and development program of 5550 type 2" ignitrons has led to a tube good at 10 kv for pulses of 30 ka with a decay time of 500 μs. Times for transfer of the arc to the wall have been measured for several types of ignitrons. A 4"-insulated cathode ignitron has been developed for pulses of 10 ka for 20 ms. The firing delay and jitter of 2" ignitrons has been found to be as low as 0.25 μs and 0.06 μs, respectively."

From introduction: "The object of this paper is to derive a simple approximate expression for the average potential about an atomic nucleus in an ionized gas. It was desired that the expression be simple in the sense that its analytic form would be convenient in Born approximation calculations. It was also desired that the results would be valid over a large range of temperature and density for all elements with perhaps the exception of those with low atomic number."

Abstract: "Fast neutron effects on a widely used x-ray film have been investigated. The neutron flux was provided by the (d, t) reaction of a Cockcroft-Walton accelerator. Integrated exposures to 10-10 n/cm-2 were given the film. It was found that perturbations on film that were pre-exposed to Co-60 gamma rays from 10 to 2000 r were negligible. Simultaneous exposure of neutrons plus gammas also indicated negligible effect on the film insofar as the gamma dose was concerned."

From foreword: This report details geologic investigations of radioactive deposits in the United States.

A sphere of LiD 2 feet in diameter was irradiated by 2 x 10<sup>15 14 Mev neutrons. Samples of Li<sup>7 metal were positioned at various radii for the irradiation. An analysis of these samples for tritium led to a determination of the number of tritons produced by 14 Mev neutrons acting on Li<sup>7 in a LiD system.

A measurement of the [Lithium-7] reaction cross section by absolute counting of the tritium betas is described. The cross section was measured at several neutron energies between 4 Mev and 15 Mev. A comparison with results by emulsion techniques is given.

The General Electric Company is designing and building a 180,000 kilowatt nuclear power plant for the Commonwealth Edison Company at a site 47 miles southwest of Chicago. The construction permit was issued on May 4, 1956 but is subject to submittal to the Commission of a final hazards summary report and a finding by the Commission that the final design provides reasonable assurances that the health and safety of the public will not be endangered by operation of the reactor in accordance with the specified procedures.

The problem of photosynthesis is the problem of defining the way in which green plants are able to convert electromagnetic energy into chemical potential in the form of reduced carbon, usually as carbohydrate, and molecular oxygen. The use of tracer carbon, as carbon-14, has made possible considerable progress in the mapping of the routes taken by the carbon atom from CO2 into plant substances. The techniques of separation and identification that have made this progress possible lie largely in the region of chromatography and radioautography involving fractional-gamma amounts of material. A number of proposals have been made about the photochemical act itself. These proposals have led to the development of direct physical tests of their validity, and some results of these will be described.

Report describing the Hanford Atomic Works' Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor, its siting concerns, operation, and safety concerns.

Abstract: "In this report is assembled the available information about the dissociation and melting of the alkali and the alkaline earth carbonates and the binary systems they form with each other. Information is also included about the oxides formed on dissociation of the carbonates, and when it exists pertinent information about the effect of water. Because the carbonates are compounds in binary systems that contain the volatile CO2 component, the report contains a discussion of the complicated phase equilibrium relations in systems in which a compound is formed between volatile and nonvolatile components, including a discussion both of systems in which the solubility curve does not and does intersect the critical curve."
