S>Operation of the TBP-hexane extraction cycle in the pilot plant was continued to develop design and operating data for the Weldon Spring operation. Power requirements and heat transfer capacity of the continuous raffinate denitrator were obtained. Uranium chip reprocessing, slag grinding, and development of techniques for U casting are reported. Determination of H in U metal, investigation of the dingot process and dingot forging were studied. Hazards associated with the HNO/sub 3/ digestion of U-can metal, quality comparison of UF/sub 4/ produced at 340 lb/hr and 380 lb/hr, and the advantages of the vertically split molds were studied.
