Report issued by the Brookhaven National Laboratory discussing bulk grain irradiators. As stated in the abstract, "this report presents the results of a study to conceive, evaluate, review and estimate costs for a number of suitable designs for a Cobalt-60 Bulk Grain Irradiator; select a preferred type; and establish required criteria for future detail design and construction of the selected concept" (p. ii). This report includes tables, and illustrations.

Abstract: A series of clean critical experiments was performed in the SGR critical facility utilizing 2 wt % enriched, uranium metal, hollow cylinder, fuel elements, in AGOT graphite moderator.

A description is given of the test series conducted in conjunction with the SNAP Aerospace Safety Program. The principal objective of the tests was to obtain data and information for evaluating the hazards occurring before, during, and after the flight of the SNAP 10A reactor. The results of these tests will provide a means for developing criteria to guide in the design of inherently safe SNAP systems. (auth)
