A problem was presented to observe the packing densities of deposits of sub-micron corrosion product particles. The deposits were 5-100 mils thick and had formed on the inside surfaces of 3/8 inch diameter Zircaloy-2 heat exchanger tubes. The particles were iron oxides deposited from flowing water and consequently were only weakly bonded. Particular care was required during handling to preserve the original formations of the deposits. The specimen preparation method described below allowed direct observation of cross sections of the deposit layers by transmission electron microscopy.The specimens were short sections of the tubes (about 3 inches long) that were carefully cut from the systems. The insides of the tube sections were first coated with a thin layer of a fluid epoxy resin by dipping. This coating served to impregnate the deposit layer as well as to protect the layer if subsequent handling were required.

Recent studies have shown the presence of voids in several face-centered cubic metals after neutron irradiation at elevated temperatures. These voids were found when the irradiation temperature was above 0.3 Tm where Tm is the absolute melting point, and were ascribed to the agglomeration of lattice vacancies resulting from fast neutron generated displacement cascades. The present paper reports the existence of similar voids in the body-centered cubic metals tungsten and molybdenum.

A simple, laser-based reflectometer is described for the measurement of water turbidity via 180° optical scattering. Applications exist both in clean source waters (0-1000NTU) with a minimum detectable turbidity better than 1NTU, and in dense wastewater primary-clarifier sludges. The non-contact measurement is performed from a distance at least up to 10m, substantially avoiding the usual window fouling problems of optical instruments. By measuring directly in the process, through a free water surface or on the side of a flowing water stream, the difficulties of transporting sample to the instrument are also avoided. Extensions to be described allow measurement also of water colour.
