Mound activities in chemical and physical research: July-December 1982

Research is reported in the following areas: low-temperature research (kinetics of DT formation in D2 + T2 mixtures, calculation of charged particle density in tritium containing CT4, deuterium triple point cell), separation research (liquid thermal diffusion of methyl chloride and bromine-81 in bromobenzene, separation of Ca and Zr isotopes, triple-pumped detector, magnesium two-phase chemical exchange, extraction columns for Ca isotope enrichment, reflux-electrochemical NO-HNO3 chemical exchange for 15N enrichment, testing of boron phosphate for Pu adsorption), and metal hydride studies (prediction of nonmagnetic Kondo effect in metal hydrides)
