Additional runs were made in the 6-in.-dia. separation column. The kinetics of the methane --copper oxide reaction was investigated in deep bed tests. The work on the development of the shear included a satisfactory method of ng, preliminary test of an outer gag faced with rubber, and a metallic inner gsg contoured to the shape of a sheared assembly. The mechanical dejacketing of the SRE Core I fuel, NaK-bonded, stainless steel-clad uranium slugs, was successfully completed. The effective therrnal conductivity of a packed bed of 0.023-in. steel shot was approximately 0.33 Btu/hr- deg Fft at 200 deg F. Flow capacity for the compound extraction scrub column equipped with sieve plates (0.125-in.-dia. was determined. Average waste calcination rates for Purex were higher by a factor of 1.5 to 2.0 than rates for TBP-25. (auth)
