The Nuclear Test Gauge (open access)

The Nuclear Test Gauge

From abstract: "The 'Nuclear Test Gauge', a slightly subcritical assembly for quality control of reactor components, was designed, constructed, and placed in operation. calibration experiments demonstrated that the sensitivity of the unit is adequate, and that the speed of testing is increased y a factor of ten over that of a critical test pile."

Thermal Distortion of SAR Hafnium Control Rod (open access)

Thermal Distortion of SAR Hafnium Control Rod

Abstract: The thermal distortion of a Y-shaped hafnium control rod heated by arrays of individually controlled radiation heaters was studied. The large axial and radial temperature gradients specified for this control rod were easily obtained with the radiation-heating method. The distortion, as measured with dial indicators, amounted to a 2-mil movement of the free end of the rod in the direction of the coolest blade.
