The heat studies include: automatic time-delay relay for Panellit System; heating of fuel rods; installation of a thermocouple slug; effect of tube length and annulus on tube power; pressure drop film studies; full scale mock-up; flow tests; front to rear enrichment of B, D, and F piles; electrical analog studies; studies on thermal and biological shields; and recirculating system heat exchangers. Some of the topics discussed in the water studies section are: the 100-D flow laboratory; film formation test apparatus; can difference test; Calgon chemical purge for film removal; flow laboratory recirculating studies; slug jacket abrasion at high flow rates; sodium dichromate elimination tests; process water studies; and corrosion studies. The mechanical development studies sections includes the following subjects: Sphincter seal test; ball corrosion test; horizontal control rod conversion study; P-13 removal; chemical slug stripper; temperature monitoring of tube outlets; slug air weigher; slug damage; process tube replacement; crossheader improvement; water cooled test hole facility; 189-D test laboratory; creep in process tubes; charging and discharging machines; flapper nozzle assembly test; horizontal rod gland seal test; and horizontal rod mock-up test.
