DIMENSIONAL INSTABILITY OF URANIUM--II. Second Annual Progress Report, January 1, 1956 to June 30, 1957
The mechanism of dimensional instability of irradiated uranium is under investigation. In order to confirm an assumption of the diffusion theory, the magnitude of diffusion anisotropy in alpha-uranium single crystals is being determined by measurement of the diffusion coefficients along the principal directions. Progress made in working out procedures for the preparation of uranium single crystals, preparation of the diffusion couples, measurement of valid concentration-penetration data in very thin diffusion zones by sectioning, and measurement of surface concentrations by means of nuclear tracking emudsions is discussed. Also, in-pile experiments are being designed to further clarify the nature of growth under irradiation. (auth)
