Solution of Experimental Breeder Reactor Slugs (open access)

Solution of Experimental Breeder Reactor Slugs

From abstract: "A full-scale, always-safe, metal dissolver for Experimental Breeder Reactor fuel was designed, built, and installed for test operation. It was found that the dissolver operated satisfactorily, and feasible operating procedures were established for the dissolution of bare, or jacketed, EBR slugs. Minor modifications of the dissolver design have been required to accomodate [sic] a modified EBR slug, but it is believed that this will not significantly affect its operating characteristics."

Initial results of instrument-flying trials conducted in a single-rotor helicopter (open access)

Initial results of instrument-flying trials conducted in a single-rotor helicopter

"Instrument-flying trials have been conducted in a single-rotor helicopter, the maneuver stability of which could be changed from satisfactory to unsatisfactory. The results indicated that existing longitudinal flying-qualities requirements based on contact flight were adequate for instrument flight at speeds above that for minimum power. However, lateral-directional problems were encountered at low speeds and during precision maneuvers" (p. 1).

Basic design specification for ``X`` Pile (open access)

Basic design specification for ``X`` Pile

The purpose of this specification is to set forth in a single document a coherent set of requirements as affected by interrelated design and operating conditions. Basic values, dimensions, and other parameters fundamental to establishment of design specifications for the individual reactor components are given. This document will eventually become a part of the complete ``Design Specifications for ``X`` Reactor`` to be issued later. At that time some of the information given here (such as the moderator dimensions) will appear elsewhere in the document and therefore there is some duplication. Such information was necessary to give the complete scope. An attempt is made to give the basis or background at the end of the document. All references pertinent to the choice are probably not included.
