Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor Experiment Monthly Progress Statement: September, 1957

A monthly report summarizing work performed by Babcock & Wilcox personnel for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. In this month's report comparison of second two-dimensional calculation with the equivalent one-dimensional calculations was performed, reference design core modifications were completed, along with continued work on the design of the core and containment vessel for a LMRFE.

Graphite-to-Metal Seal Screening Tests (open access)

Graphite-to-Metal Seal Screening Tests

In the basic design for a two-fluid LMFRE, a seal has to be made between the metal core inlet and the graphite bottom reflector. To evaluate the effectiveness of such a method of sealing, a screening test apparatus was constructed to determine quickly the physical parameters and the best configuration for interface contact
