Investigations were continued on the following: tensile properties of Al- U and Zr-U alloys at high temperatures; phase studies of U-Th alloys; mechanical properties of Zr and Zircaloy-2; bonding U slugs in Zr cans; radiation damage in graphite; extrusion cladding of reactor fuel plates; mechanical properties of dingot- U tubes; sinterability and electrical properties of UO/sub 2/; hydration of UO/sub 3/;, corrosion of stainless steel by NH/sub 3/; heat treatment of U in fused-salt baths; development of refractory fuel elements; transformation kinetics, heat treatment, corrosion behavior, and radiation stability of U-Zr alloys; corrosion and heat treatment of Zr and Zr alloys; ceramic coating of U; physical and chemical properties of UN, US, and USi/sub x/; quenching and aging of U-Ti alloys; oxidation resistance of Nb and Nb alloys; thermal stability of Zr hydrides; diffusion of O/sub 2/ in Zr alloys; corrosion of PWR fuel element cores; development of gas-cooled power reactor; and reflector control system for heterogeneous boiling reactors.
