This memorandum discusses slug rupture frequency which appears to be a factor that may limit the power level of C Pile. Since additional exposure of Group 8 uranium slugs has increased the available information on the behavior of material similar to that which will be charged into C Pile, a review of this tube power limitation has been made. Utilization of additional data has been possible by use of the revised method of calculating rupture rates discussed in reference (2).
