Tungsten and graphite are unsuitable materials of construction for a UF/ sub 6/ inlet nozzle in a continuous DRUHM reactor. Preparation of feed was completed for an extended Fluorox test. Difficulties were experienced in the operation of a fluidized bed TbNT denitrator. Flame denitration of UNH and TbNO produced mixed oxides of 1 to 14 micron mean particle size. The chloride capacity of Dowex 21K was measured, and equilibria measurements of uranium sorption from sulfate solutions were continued. Siliceous deposits in the stripping column caused the termination of a Darex run with a prototype APPR fuel element. Hot runs were begun on the chemical dejacketing of irradiated PWR blanket pins. The addition of formaldehyde to neutralize "25" waste reduced the recovery of nitrate from the calciner off-gas from 76% to 23%. (For preceding report see CF-58-9-62.) (auth
