Development studies were made of methods for producing adhesives and plastics having characteristics superior to those currently in use. Processes are being developed for 230 sources of supply are being evaluated. Research was initiated to determine the density, viscosity, thermal capacity, thermal conductivity, and phase equilibria of plutonium and plutonium alloys proposed as fast breeder reactor fuels. Work is being conducted on the fabrication of plutonium-bearing glass fibers. (B.O.G.
