equipment during this quarter. It has been re-
quested that electric power be supplied at the
disposal quarry so that disposal of both sodium
and NaK can proceed regardless of atmospheric
temperature. Present rough estimates of the cost
of such an installation range from $250 to $1000.
Firmer figures are to be obtained, and, if the range
above is correct, adequate power is to be installed
for liquid metal disposal.
In-pile loop No. 5 was filled with enriched NaF-
124
ZrF4-UF, (53.LL4O-6.5 mole %). Two new batches
for in-pile loops were processed. Dates for filling
loops with these batches have not yet been set.
Two other small batches of special enriched mix-
tures were also processed this quarter. One batch,
NaF-ZrF4-UF, (62.5-12.5-25.0 mole %), was to be
used at ORNL for special radiation tests. The
other batch, NaF-UF4 (66.7-33.3 mole X), was or-
dered by Battelle Memorial Institute.
