This progress report discusses activities at the P Division for June 1949. The nominal operating level for the B and F piles was 275 megawatts (MW) throughout the month except for outages listed under Area Activities. The D pile operated at 290 MW through June 20, at which time the level was raised to 305 MW as the second step of the program outlined in Production Test No. 105-260-P to evaluate the feasibility of operating piles at higher power levels. A total of 48 tons of metal, at an average concentration of 331 MWD/ton, was discharged from the piles during the month. Approximately 22 tons of Class V (alpha rolled, triple dipped, completely transformed) metal was discharged at a concentration of 392 MWD/ton without difficulty. A portion of this material has been inspected at month end and all slugs appear to be in satisfactory condition. This is the first material to reach the 400 megawatt days/ton (MWD/ton) (nominal) goal established for the concentration increase program begun in August 1948. A record yield of 93% was established in the 300 Area for the canning of 4 inch slugs.
