The purpose of this report is to describe the shielding calculations and techniques used in sizing the MMSR primary shield, the results obtained, and the resulting shield thicknesses. The present report covers many of the items scheduled for presentation in the final MMSR shield design report to be issued in November of 1958. The primary shield in the MMSR consists of the reflector, thermal shields, pressure vessel wall, a 33" water annulus and a layer of lead shielding at the exterior of the primary shield tank vary from 3" to 1" in thickness.

The general purpose of this report is to present the major characteristics and design of the Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor (CETR) core

The objective of this study is to establish a primary loop purification rate for normal operation to (1) maintain the activity created in the primary coolant water by corrosion products and other impurities (excluding fission products) at tolerable level and (2) minimize the crud deposition on the core heat-transfer surfaces.

Quarterly report on the development of a nuclear reactor for merchant ships. This report covers details of a modified propulsion system, completing the basic design of reactor auxiliary systems, control rod effectiveness, and other continued design elements.

The purpose of this report is to describe the nuclear power plant for the N.S. Savannah and the program in progress for the analysis of potential hazards associated with the operation of a nuclear merchant vessel. Particular emphasis is given to the safety features embodied both in the design and operation of the plant.

In the basic design for a two-fluid LMFRE, a seal has to be made between the metal core inlet and the graphite bottom reflector. To evaluate the effectiveness of such a method of sealing, a screening test apparatus was constructed to determine quickly the physical parameters and the best configuration for interface contact

Results of tests to remove fission gases, xenon and krypton, formed during the operation of a nuclear reactor.

Work required, proposed schedule, and an estimate of the costs for complete program to build first LMFR power plant.
