Chemical-metallurgical processing studies were made of pyrometallurgical development snd research, and fuel processing facilities for EBR-II. Fuel-cycle applications of fluidization and volatility techniques included laboratory investigations of fluoride volatility processes, engineeringscale development, and conversion of UF/sub 6/ to UO/sub 2/. Reactor safety studies consisted of metal oxidation and ignition kinetics, and metal-water reactions. Reactor chemistry investigations were conducted to determine nuclear constants and suitable reactor decontamination methods. Routine operations are summarized for the high-level gammairradiation facillty and waste processing. (B.O.G.)
