Baskey, R H

Sixteen depleted uranium-bearing Fiberglas compacts were vacuum hot- pressed during the report period. These were out for use as core sections. Each section was radiographed to determine the fiber distribution. Other experiments wfth these sections are described in which clad plates were fabricated by open rolling. High-strength alloys are being tested for Fiberglas core fabrication. Alclad high-strength alloys constrained core sections, thereby reducing the rippling effect to a minimum on the majority of plates. Results of experiments to determine optimum reduction rates are included. Results of dummy fuel plate evaluation are also included. (For preceding period see ORO-313.) (J.R.D.)
