"A conceptual design study of reactors for the join production of tritium and colbat-60 has been made. The study covered a family of four reactors raging in thermal power from 16.5 MW to 150 MW, and designed for corresponding annual productions ranging from 0.5 to 5.0 million curies of tritium respectively."--P. v.

Report documenting the ongoing research and developments of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Homogeneous Reactor Project.

Studies are being made on the effects of variation of aluminum content, heat treatment, surface preparation, and other metallurgical factors on the room temperature ductility of Al-- Fe alloys. It is estimated that approximately 65 percent of the proposed research has been completed over the first eight and one-half months of the contract period.

The purpose of the test was to fill the condensate storage tank and the Condensate System and obtain satisfactory preliminary operation. The components of the Condensate System performed adequately and satisfactorily with the exception of fill control valve (M9-VI). This valve (M9-VI) is not used in the current operation procedure.

The purpose of the test was to evaluate the operation of the Nuclear Instrumentation Power Range Amplifier during start up. While the station was operating at a gross load of 16.5 megawatts, a variation of 0, 8.5, 2.7 and 4.4 existed between the compensated ion chamber currents (CIC) and the test currents for channels A, B, C and D respectively. The off site modifications to channel C power range amplifier did not cause the ion chamber current and test current to be the same at 16.5 megawatts gross power. The modifications to channel C were made to correct for this deficiency.
