Plastic Research. The tensile strength of Dacron-filled diallyl phthalate was determined to average 4377 psi. Composition and stress-strain data are tabulated for ten adhesive films. Analytical studies of an adhesive exudate are reported. Radioelements. Results of analysis of ioniumbearing raffinates and residues for Th/sup 232/ and of aged>s Ra/sup 223/ for Ac/sup 2/2/sup >/s7>s are given. Progress on Pa recovery from raffinates and residues and separation from Nb is reported. Isotope Separation and Purification. Proposed work on gas centrifugal and photochemical separation of uranium isotopes is discussed. Progress on xenon and helium isotopes separation and purification is outlined. Reactor Fuels and Materials Development. The density of liquid La at 945 to 1000 deg C was determined. The performances of an oscillating Cup viscometer with La and Bi and of a high-temperature calorimeter with Po/sup 210/ are described. A study of the compatibility of Haynes 25 alloy with Pu at 9O0 deg C indicated that very little penetration took place after the first hour at 900 deg C. The efficiency of escape of alpha particles from a glass fiber containing 10 wt% pu oxide was determined to be approximately 72%. Eight glass compositions were evaluated for their ability to dissolve 15 wt% Pu oxide at 1650 deg C. A glass neutron standard containing Pu and Be oxides was prepared. (D.L.C.)
