A summary and results on the C.E.A.-Pechiney purification process are given. Variations in the preparation of green pastes and their effects on graphitized material are described. Results are given on statistics of dimensional variation for products having square cross section, statistical variation of thermal expansion coefficients and of electrical conductivity, density of normals to carbon layer planes and their connection with thermal expansion, stress-strain cycles and conclusions drawn from them, and mechanical resistance and gas permeability of items for supporting fuel elements. Modifications under radiation of French graphites irradiated either in G/sub 1/ pile or in experimental piles, and thermal annealing of those modifications, are given. (auth)
