Accurate Nuclear Fuel Burnup Analyses; First Quarterly Report, (December 1961 - February 1962) (open access)

Accurate Nuclear Fuel Burnup Analyses; First Quarterly Report, (December 1961 - February 1962)

The objective of the Accurate Nuclear Fuel Burnup Analyses program is to develop more accurate methods for burnup analysis for general use than the current method of analysis of Ca-137 or Sr-90. The program will require from three to five years of effort.

Experimental Fast Ceramic Reactor Design Status Report as of October 31, 1961 (open access)

Experimental Fast Ceramic Reactor Design Status Report as of October 31, 1961

The design status of the Experimental Fast Ceramic Reactor (EFCR) is described for the period up to October 31, 1961. The primary purpose of the facility is to study the dynamic behavior of a fast ceramic reactor, including the experimental demonstration of the effectiveness of the Doppler coefficient in limiting the power excursion following a rapid insertion of reactivity.
