Binary alloys of uranium with 38 elements in the range 0.01 to 1.0 at.% were made. Three alloys having nominal compositions of 0.01, 0.1, and 1.0 at.% were made with most of the elements, and in addition, 12 ternary and quaternary alloys were made. The alloys were cast, rolled to 7/8-inch-diameter bars, heat treated, and examined for grain size.

From introduction: "The work covered in this report is a portion of the experimental research undertaken for the design of a uranium-containing metallic fuel rod for operation in air at 1090 C...This report deals with that phase which involved the testing and evaluation of various metals as barrier costs between uranium alloys, and low-carbon steel. The work is of a preliminary nature and is concerned more with a comparison of the various barrier metals than with the acquisition of numerical data, e.g., diffusion coefficients."

From abstract: "Results are presented of Scheibel column extraction tests with neutral ether on a variety of combinations of feed solutions...The effect of added iron was evaluated for a considerable number of process solutions and slurries. Arsenic was traced through both primary and secondary extraction stages in one test."

From abstract and summary: Long Park and vicinity is in T. 47 N., R. 17 W., Montrose County, Colo. The U. S. Geological Survey started a program of drilling in the area in April 1949, to find deposits that might be developed into new mines and to appraise the reserves of the area. This drilling was done during two periods of time under separate contracts.

From abstract: Nine uranium deposits occur in a small area west of Clancey, Jefferson County, Mont. These deposits are all in or near silicified fracture zones in quartz monzonite and related rocks of the Boulder batholith. The deposits contain pockets of uranium minerals in cavities in brecciated well-silicified rock. The primary uranium mineral pitchblende has been found in one pod. Secondary uranium minerals occur as fracture linings and in pore spaces in and adjacent to the silicified zones.

Technical report presenting a consideration of the characteristics of fused salt-ThF4 solutions suitable for use in homogeneous reactors. Presented in tandem with a brief survey of the literature pertaining to such solutions and a summary of the experimental work accomplished. [From Abstract]

Recent tentative production forecasts indicate that as much as 96.6 Kg plutonium, associated with 190 tons uranium, may be produced each month. The ability of the Separations facilities to process these materials is herein summarized. The Redox Production Plant capacity has been reasonably predicted at about 112 tons uranium per month; this rate assumes only that critical mass control is achieved by the limitation of the possible volume accumulation at any point, and that the product concentration step has been modified to permit the greater capacity. At 600 MWD/T (522 g/t) then, the 112 tons uranium per month capacity limits the plutonium output of the plant to 58.5 Kg per month at 80% operating efficiency. The remaining 38 Kg plutonium per month may be processed in the B and T BiPO{sub 4} plants at an operating efficiency of 89.5%; if this operating efficiency cannot be realized, the postulated production rate may be met by either an increased Redox efficiency or by accepting an increased plutonium waste loss of 1% on some portion of the BiPO{sub 4} production.

This report discusses the feasibility of designing and building two 100 Areas at the Coyote Rapids site on the Columbia River. It incorporates the individual studies prepared by the Power and Mechanical Division-HDC-2241, Reactor Division-HDC-2239, Project Engineering Division-HDC-2244, Principal Engineer and HDC-2242, and the Engineering and Construction Services Division-HDC-2243, each outlining the proposed course of action and requirements for that facet of the contemplated work in which they are primarily interested.

This document describes the scope of the C-431-B Reactor Production Facility. In dealing with the broad phases of the project, it includes the Sections ``A`` (Scope Modifications) of the approved Design Criteria, modified to ensure correctness to date. Location of the facility has been set as shown on the site map in HDC-2101, designated site number one. Included in Project C-431-B are the 105-C Building, including within that building facilities previously located in the 1608 Building, a contaminated effluent crib adjacent to 105-C, and gas facilities using the 115-B Building interconnected with 105-C. Also included are an oil shed, a thimble storage cave, a badge house, and an exclusion fence. Building services and process lines will be considered part of the project to a location nominally five feet outside of 105-C.

This is a progress report of the production reactors on the Hanford Reservation for the month of May 1951. This report takes each division (e.g., manufacturing, medical, accounting, occupational safety, security, reactor operations, etc.) of the site and summarizes its accomplishments and employee relations for that month.

Acenaphtheno is a low-melting organic compound, C{sub 10}H{sub 6}(CH{sub 2}){sub 2}, used as a temperature indicating coating for slugs tested in the Frost Test induction coil. In preparation for this test, slugs are coated by spraying a 12 to 24 per cent by weight solution of acenaphthene in a high vapor pressure solvent on the rotating slug. The solvent evaporate leaving a thin, adherent coating of acenaphthene. This process is completely described in reference 1. To be entirely satisfactory for this use, a solvent must satisfy four requirements. High vapor pressure -- rapid evaporation. Non-flammability. Low toxicity. Carbon tetrachloride, the solvent used at percent, is operationally satisfactory but undersirable because of its toxicity. The purpose of this test is to investigate the suitability of various solvents as substituted for carbon tetrachloride.
