Title: /sup 238/PuO/sub 2//titanium compatibility at 800/sup 0/C and 1000/sup 0/C

The compatibility between /sup 238/PuO/sub 2/ and titanium was studied. Test specimens were heated at 800/sup 0/C for 32 to 720 days and at 1000/sup 0/C for 30 to 180 days. The results indicate reduction of the /sup 238/PuO/sub 2/ by the titanium caused solid solution hardening of the titanium, occasional intergranular attack by plutonium at 800/sup 0/C, and intergranular and lattice diffusion by plutonium at 1000/sup 0/C.
