Results are given for two U-2 wt. % Zr (Zircaloy-2 clad) rods simultaneously heat treated for seven hours at 1635 plus or minus 15 F on a type 304 stainless steel angle support. Four extrusions with various combinations of cores and end seals were carried out to investigate methods to improve tube quality, especially interface and surface smoothness. Correlation between optical and autoradiographic measurements of clad thickness was carried out by destructive examination. (For preceding period see NMI-4363.) (W.D.M.)
