An apparatus was designed and constructed for measuring the compressive creep of uraninm during irradiation in a Windscale pile; in particular, the behavior of alpha -uranium at 450 deg C. under a stress of 2.7 tons/in.2 was studied. The first results show that irradiation does not appreciably affect the secondary creep rate at this temperature. A transient increase in creep rate, which may be due to thermal cycling, was observed on pile start-up after cooling down between creep runs. (auth)
