The Critical Mass of a Spherical Reactor with Variable Intrinsic Buckling (open access)

The Critical Mass of a Spherical Reactor with Variable Intrinsic Buckling

Abstract: "The critical mass both of an untamped and water-tamped sphere with parabolic radial variation of the intrinsic buckling is calculated by a perturbation method. The result is applied to finding the minimum critical mass of plutonium in water suspension with infinite water temper; the calculations show that the minimum critical mass at constant concentration may be reduced by an amount of the order of 7.6% when the concentration of plutonium is permitted to vary throughout the suspension."

Homogeneous Reactor Preliminary Process Design Report (open access)

Homogeneous Reactor Preliminary Process Design Report

"The following report is meant to serve a two fold purpose. First, it is the quarterly report of the homogeneous reactor project for the Technical Division of Oak Ridge National Laboratory. Secondly, it is a description and general feasibility discussion of a 200-1000 K.W. pilot model, homogeneous reactor."
