SM-1 Research and Development Program, Activity Buildup Program Task 1 : final report February 1958 to June 1959 (open access)

SM-1 Research and Development Program, Activity Buildup Program Task 1 : final report February 1958 to June 1959

Abstract: The results of activity buildup studies in the SM-1 (APPR-1) performed from February 1958 to January 1959 are reported. Data are presented on the extent, nature, and mechanism of the buildup of long-lived gamma emitting nuclides in the reactor primary system. Mathematical equations to describe the activity buildup are derived. Radiation levels after reactor shutdown are presented, as well as the predicted radiation levels at the end of core life.
