Fifty pounds each of twelve different types of uranium dioxide were produced. Physical testing of the UO/sub 2/ powders is underway and the data are tabulated for bulk, tap, and Scott densities, and agglomerate (Fisher Sub- Sieve) size. Chemical characterization of the powder was started and results are shown for percent uranium, percent uranium dioxide, oxygen to uranium ratio, and a number of the chemical impurities. Ceramic performance studies were initiated. A series of pellets were prepared under the same conditions for eight of the different oxide types. (auth)
