Data are given on the creep properties of annealed and 15% cold-worked Zircaloy-2 at elevated temperatures. The bond strength of several specimens was determined by welding Zr studs to the cladding and pulling them in a tensile machine until the cladding and the core were separated. The effect of metallic impurities on the electrical properties of UO/sub 2/ is being investigated. A program was initiated with the objectives of obtaining basic fatigue information on Inconel and also to establish a quantitative relationship between the variables of temperature, stress strain, time, and cyclic frequency for Inconel subjected to repeated stressing. The reaction products of aqueous corrosion of U are being investigated to aid in understanding the corrosion mechanism. Data are given on the oxidation of Nb and Nb alloys in dry air. Studies of the solid- state bonding of metals have been continued with emphasis on the formulation of an expression relating adhesion physical properties and experimental conditions Data are given on the reactions of UC/sub 2/ and UBe/sub 13/ with various gases. Linear rate constants for the reaction of hydrogen with Nb are given. An investigation of the creep of tantalum at elevated temperatures is being conducted in an inert gas atmosphere.
