Abstract
Some corrosive effects are illustrated by observations in the area of metal coolants, particularly the alkali metals. This subject and the following areas are discussed: the containment of the Pu--Fe eutectic in tantalum: Pu-Ce- Co alloys in tantalum, molybdenum, and ceramics: Ce-Co alloys in tantalum; Pu- Ce- Ni and Pu-- Ce- Cu alloys in tantalum, niobium, and molybdenum; U-- Pu --Mn alloys in yttrium and ceramics; U--Mn eutectic in yttrium, tantalum, niobium, and ceramics; U-Cr and U- Fe eutectics in yttrium, tantalum, and niobium; Bi- U alloys in steels, graphite, tantalum, molybdenum, beryllium, and yttrium; Bi--Pu alloys in tantalum, niobium, and molybdenum; alloys of Al--U--Th in yttrium, tantalum, and niobium; Al-- U alloys in yttrium, tantalum, niobium, and titanium; and Mg- Th alloys in tantalum and niobium. These subjects were reviewed up to October of 1962. (auth)
