The U-02 Phase III Module, which incorporated lanthanum chromite based electrodes, MgO and MgAl/sub 2/O/sub 4/ interelectrode insulators, and used a BRUNSBOND/sup R/ nickel mesh as the attachment current lead-out material, was operated at temperature for a period of 132 hours, of which 107 hours were under full MHD conditions. This is the final definitive document concerning the joint Phase III U-02 MHD test carried out in Moscow between May 13 and May 19, 1978. The design of the electrode modules including anode and cathode walls is given, and pre-test materials data are given in detail. Data relating to the experimental conditions during the test are detailed, and module performance data are presented. Procedures and results of post-test materials characterization studies are presented. (WHK)
