Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4400202

Annual progress report for the period July 1972 through June NBL conducted an interlaboratory comparison program on the analysis of pyrocarbon- and silicon carbide-coated uranium-thorium carbide nuclear fuel beads. Samples of the beads from a single production lot, and synthetic uranium dioxide-- thorium dioxide mixtures were analyzed for uranium by 3 laboratories by nondestructive assay techniques, and for uranium and thorium by 7 laboratories by destructive chemical procedures.
