A transition program, eliminating most of the wet chemical techniques for the preparation of cell feed and replacing these with a high temperature chlorination process, was begun. Crushing tests on a Fitz mill were initiated and tentative conclusions are that this type of equipment as superior to a combination of jaw and roll crushing. Small scale chlorination experiments indicate the feasibility of pelletizing ThOCO/sub 3/ for feed to a eontinuous hightemperature chlorinator. (D.E.B.)
