In direct-strike {sup 238}PuO{sub 2}, agglomeration occurs in the oxalate precipitate and is unaffected by washing agent or calcining temperature. The evaluation of an automatic pulverizer-classifier for the PuFF Facility was begun. Difference between the mini-hot press at SRL and the LASL full-scale hot press require higher pressures to be used at SRL to obtain the density specified for PPO. Hot-pressed density was found to vary with applied pressure and, to a lesser extent, with size of feed. The new contained metallograph has been installed. A wire saw has been placed in containment for precise cutting of PPO pellets. The scanning microscope was mounted within the glove boxes
