Progress Report Pebble Bed Reactor Program: June 1, 1959-October 31, 1960

From abstract: This report describes analytical and development work in connection with the Pebble Bed Reactor concept. The principle involved in the reactor is the heating of graphite pebbles by the fission of contained uranium and transfer of the heat generated to helium which is circulated through the permeable bed.

The Closest Packing of Spheres (A Unifying Basis for Crystal Structures)

"An intuitive approach to the understanding of crystal structures is presented in terms of the concept of the closest packing of spheres. The qualitative features of the concept are sorted out and correlated by successively treating single, double, triple, and multiple layered arrays of closest packed spheres" (p. ix).
