Determination of Diffusion Cooling in Graphite by Measurement of the Average Neutron Velocity (open access)

Determination of Diffusion Cooling in Graphite by Measurement of the Average Neutron Velocity

From Abstract: "The diffusion cooling coefficient in graphite has been determined by measuring the change in the asymptotic average velocity with buckling, by pulsed neutron methods. The times necessary to establish equilibrium spectra in graphite and heavy water have been measured and are reported."

The Supercritical Water Reactor (open access)

The Supercritical Water Reactor

From summary: "During 1951 NDA has, at the request of ORNL, been studying the supercritical-water reactor as proposed for aircraft propulsion in Wash-24...This study has concerned itself only with the reactor and shield." The report describes the reactor and the processes involved in developing it. The goal of the development of this reactor is identified as a path to supersonic flight.

Flux Distribution - Converter Reactor (open access)

Flux Distribution - Converter Reactor

From introduction: "A simplified calculation has been carried out in order to gain some insight into the flux distribution, peak to average power density, efficiency of a catching blanket and the effect of a reflector in the proposed converter reactor."
