This report provides a timely summary of the major activities conducted in the Chemical Development Section of the Chemical Technology Division at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) during the period January--March 1996. The report summarizes ten major tasks conducted with five major areas of research and development within the section. The first major research area--Chemical Processes for Waste Management--includes the following tasks: Comprehensive Supernate Treatment, Partitioning of Sludge Compounds by Caustic Leaching, Studies on Treatment of Dissolved MVST Sludge Using TRUEX Process, ACT{asterisk}DE{asterisk}CON{sup SM} Test Program, Hot Demonstration of Proposed Commercial Nuclide Removal Technology, and Sludge Washing and Dissolution of ORNL Waste: Data for Modeling Sludge Science. The other four tasks are: Reactor fuel chemistry--Technical assistance in review of advanced reactors; Thermodynamics and kinetics of energy-related materials; Processes for waste management--Ion-exchange process for heavy metals removal; and US Army field artillery liquid propellant stability program
