Description/Abstract:
ABSTRACTS OF 70 DOCUMENTS PERTAINING TO THE EFFECTS OF HEATING IRRADIATED URANIUM ARE PRESENTED AS A PRELIMINARY TO BE CONDUCTING A LABORATORY INVESTIGATION OF FISSION PRODUCT RELEASE UNDER CIRCUMSTANCES CONSIDERED MOST LIKELY TO PREVAIL IN EVENTS OF A HANFORD REACTOR DISASTER. THE LITERATURE SEARCH WAS NOT EXHAUSTIVE BUT WAS BLASED TOWARDS APPLICABILITY TO THE PROBLEM AT HANFORD. REFERENCES SUMMARIZED UNDER THE HEADING "HANFORD DISASTER CONSIDERATIONS" ARE INCLUDED TO DESCRIBE THE CONDITIONS WHICH CAN BE EXPECTED TO PREVAIL INSIDE A HANFORD REACTOR IN THE EVENT OF A DISASTER. AN AUTHOR INDEX AND A REPORT NUMBER INDEX ARE INCLUDED, AND EXTENSIVE TABULAR DATA ARE PRESENTED.
