ABSTRACT:

Characterizations of liquid samples from PDU Run No. 10 were performed.  Densities, solids content, and gamma-ray mass absorption coefficients were measured for 13 slurry mix tank samples. Densities and mass absorption coefficients were obtained for an equal number of clean oil tank samples.  Battelle Institute completed viscosity measurements on 14 reactor liquid product samples; however, recent modifications to the viscometer will require that some measurements to be repeated. Spent Amocat I-A catalyst was obtained for future cold flow tests at Amoco. Cold flow experiments were started at Northwestern University. Some problems with gas foam formation were noted. Two different probes were fabricated. (ERA citation 06:019666)
