BS>Fuel Elements. Activities are discussed for design, development, production, and control studies in the fabrication of ceramic and metallic fuel elements, and fuel-element canning materials. Metallurgy. Outlines are included of work done in: metallography and metal physics; physics; materials testing and control; pressure-vessel steels; corrosion of aluminum and Zircaloy; and the installation and maintenance of instruments. Active Metallurgy. Activities are summarized in terms of work in progress on studies of plutonium metallurgy, irradiation behavior of fuel materials, radiation effects on construction materials, magnetic properties of binary systems, and the installation and maintenance of equipment for handling radioactive materials.
