Topics discussed include gang valve substitute devices; cost of lining cell bottom with stainless steel; and the pump development program. [The Redox plant used a reduction-oxidation process for fuel separation that allowed recovery of uranium as well as plutonium for the first time. It succeeded earlier plants (T and B) that had used methods based on the bismuth phosphate process that recovered only plutonium.]

"A heat-transfer investigation was conducted with air flowing through an electrically heated silicon carbide tube with a rounded entrance, an inside diameter of 3/4 inch, and an effective heat-transfer length of 12 inches over a range of Reynolds numbers up to 300,000 and a range of average inside-tube-wall temperature up to 2500 R. The highest corresponding local outside-tube-wall temperature was 3010 R. Correlation of the heat-transfer data using the conventional Nueselt relation wherein physical properties of the fluid were evaluated at average bulk temperature resulted in a separation of data with tube-wall-temperature level" (p. 1).
