A Determination of the Coefficient of Thermal Expansion of Alpha Plutonium

The coefficient of linear expansion of alpha plutonium has been determined for the range -180 to +100 degree C by the silicon-tube and dial-indicator method. The value of the expansion coefficient is reported as [formula]. Included are a detailed description of the apparatus and a discussion of the method.
