A list of studies approved at the meeting is given with programs outlined in the appendix. The following topics were discussed: (1) safety; (2) security violations; (3) arrangements made for interviewees with physics training to visit Building 777; (4) procedures written for handling various fissionable materials on a large scale in the fabrication laboratory; (5) backlog of orders at the Laboratory shop; (6) that the limited number of applications do not justify the use of depleted uranium in the Laboratory; (7) that Savannah River Plant can follow Hanford requirements as to the average and variation of U-235 content in sidestream materials; (8) that Laboratory is to supply the various dimensions and tolerances that probably will be required for tubes with spiral ribs; (9) shipping of various dies and aluminium shapes now being held by aluminium fabricators; (10) obtaining proper hydraulic performance of fuel assemblies; (11) preliminary scopes of work covering process requirements for producing natural uranium elements in plate and tubular form; and (12) arrangements to be made to review the Nuclear Metals Program.
