Description/Abstract:
DISCUSSES THE CAUSES OF THE 35 SLUG FAILURES WHICH OCCURED BETWEEN FEBRUARY 20 AND JULY 31, 1955 ALL TUBE EXPOSURES FOR THESE SLUGS WERE BELOW 300 MWD/T. THESE FAILURES RESULTED FROM POOR U QUALITY, CANNING DIFFICULTIES AND INCREASED H2O TEMPERATURE. CORRECTIVE MEASURES UNDERTAKEN TO ALLEVIATE FUTURE FAILURES ARE OUTLINED.
