Study of nuclear power plants incorporating the Spectral Shift Control Reactor (SSCR).

From introduction: "The objective of this study is to provide information that will assist the Atomic Energy Commission in furthering the National Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) Program. We plan to accomplish this end, in part, by extending the original studies to include system and component design and parametric evaluations of the nuclear steam supply system and its related systems and subsystems based on an estimation of the state of technology in 1980."

From introduction: "This report has been prepared in conjunction with the Liquid Metal Fast Breeder Reactor (LMFBR) Follow-On Study. It is the Concept I description of Task I as outlined by Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) in Appendix C of their Follow-On Study Program."

From introduction: "The last of four designs to be developed by Babcock & Wilcox (B&W), Concept IV observes ground rules established under the LMFBR Follow-On Program and is based on the estimated state of technology in 1980."

Quarterly progress report on activities of a project to develop "a sol-gel process and related processes for preparing (U, Pu)O2 fast reactor fuels" (abstract).

From introduction: "Complete exploitation of the advantages of thorium as a fertile material in thermal and particular resonant spectrum reactors has been inhibited by the lack of quantitative physical property data for thoria and thoria-urania fuels."
