Forty-eight ``half-dollar`` size corrosion specimens were press-clad at 950 F for 5 minutes with 3, 4, 5, and 6 thousand psi to establish a standard sample for the evaluation of the effects of outgassing on the corrosion resistance of nickel-plated uranium. Materials are on hand for the fabrication of tools with which to carry out preliminary work on the internal cladding of natural uranium tubes. At a meeting with BMI and du Pont personnel, Mr. DeBuigne of Moczik Tool and Die Co. recommended a co-axial method for extrusion-cladding uranium plates. Design and fabrication of tools for this work would be done by Moczik.
