Solid-Phase-Reaction Studies of Control-Rod Materials

Report discussing experiments on the interaction of neutron-absorber materials and metal matrix materials used in the fabrication of control rods, such as "boron, cadmium, and some of the rare-earth elements such as gadolinium and europium...In order to evaluate the reactions that might occur during fabrication and use, experiments were carried out in which combinations of the various control materials were heated in intimate contact with the several matrices at elevated temperatures."
