Description/Abstract:
DISCUSSION ON CURRENT HANFORD SLUG DIFFICULTIES AND POSSIBLE FUTURE IMPROVEMENTS. CONSIDERS THE POSSIBILITIES OF DIFFUSION OCCURRING BETWEEN U AND AL OR AL-SI ALLOY IF THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE BONDING LAYER (U(ALSI)3), PARTICULARLY AT THE END OF THE SLUG WHERE THE FROST TEST IS INEFFECTIVE AS A DETERMINANT FOR DEFECTS. THE USE OF SLUGS CLAD WITH ZR OFFERS MANY ADVANTAGES. BRIEF DISCUSSION THEREON.
