DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4632002· OSTI ID:4632002

Summaries are presented of research developments in: chemical- metallurgical processing studies in pyrometallurgy, fuel-processing facilities for EBR-H, and the chemistry of liquid metals; fuel-cycle applications of volatility fluidization techniques to laboratory- and engineering-scale investigations of fluoride volatility processes, and the conversion of UF/sup 6/ to UO/sup 2/; calorimetry studies of the combustion of metals in fluorine, and the development of a high-temperature enthalpy calorimeter,; reactor safety evaluations of metal oxidation and ignition kinetics, and metal-- water reactions; energy-conversion studies of regenerative emf cells, and thermoelectricity; the determination of nuclear constants for double neutron capture experiments, and capture and fission reactions in EBR-II; and routine operations in waste processing and in the high-level gamma-irradiation facility.
