Further Studies with the GCRE Critical-Assembly

This report follows ciritical-assembly studies on: the effect on reactivity caused by changes in axial reflector materials; the effect on reactivity and the power perturbation caused by fast safety control-blade guides; the effect of changes in fuel-element material composition; the effect of changes in fuel-elements spacing designed to produce uniform radial power-generation rates.

Li⁶ and Li⁷ (n. 2n) Cross Sections at 14.1 Mev (open access)

Li⁶ and Li⁷ (n. 2n) Cross Sections at 14.1 Mev

Abstract: "An absolute measurement of the 14.1-Mev (n, 2n) cross sections of Li-6 and Li-7 has been made using the large scintillator technique, resulting in cross sections in barns of 0.070 +/- 0.006 and 0.056 +/- 0.005 for Li-6 and Li-7, respectively."

Large Toroidal Stabilized Pinch Proposal (open access)

Large Toroidal Stabilized Pinch Proposal

This report focuses on the study of the stabilized pinch program made to increase the plasma temperature and improve the plasma conductivity and containment. One method proposed is the usage of a large toroidal stabilized pinch, which is described here.
