Summary
Four high-flux hydrazine production experiments were conducted in the Liveimore Pool Type Reactor. All of these expeniments produced measurable quantities of hydrazine; the most recent run showed a G-value of 1.7 molecules of hydrazine per 100 ev energy deposited. This yield was roughly twice that presently considered necessary for economic feasibility. Prior to the stant of LPTR experimentation. the fabrication, assembly. and testing of experimental equipment was completed. Final development and tssting of chemical and energy deposition analytical techniques were accomplished. Two calibration irradiations were made in the LPTR to allow determination of fissions in the subsequent hydrazine production runs. Additional fuel solubility experiments demonstrated that markedly increased solubility of UO/sub 2/ and UCl/sub 4/ in ammonia can be brought about by the co-solution of NH/sub 4/Cl. Future hydrazine production experiments will be designed to demonstrate ths effects on yield of fuel concentration, flux, product concentration, and temperature. (auth)
