A monthly report summarizing work perform by Babcock & Wilcox personnel for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. In this monthly report information on the reactor design No. 10 had been selected as the LMFRE preliminary reference design, various shielding designs have bee studied, various calculations on multiregion code and reactivity have been continued, and other related to the LMFRE

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.

A monthly report summarizing work performed by Babcock & Wilcox personnel for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. In this monthly report the R&D budget was reviewed, two-dimensional calculations were performed, analysis work was started on control rods and their housing, as well as continued work on the development of the LMFRE reactor.

A monthly report summarizing work performed by Babcock & Wilcox personnel for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. In this month's report comparison of second two-dimensional calculation with the equivalent one-dimensional calculations was performed, reference design core modifications were completed, along with continued work on the design of the core and containment vessel for a LMRFE.

The contemplated use of sodium in place of bismuth in the secondary system of the Four-Inch Loop at Brookhaven National Laboratory requires a re-evaluation of the loops design. This report covers those design changes deemed necessary for safe operation of the system. It also includes an evaluation of the possible hazards involved and methods of coping with them. No attempt is made here to cover the hazards of sodium-bismuth reaction.

Quarterly report on the development of a nuclear reactor for merchant ships. Included in this report are costs on testing and development of a core reactor, design and manufacturing techniques, and other elements required for a successful reactor design and functionality.

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

This report provides an overview of the creation of the Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor Experiment program. It furthers the work by constructing a single loop to test all the components required for the 16 loop reactor. This utility loop was also constructed to provide a facility for testing various components such as valves and flow meters.

This preliminary Hazards Summary Report presents to the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), Division of Licensing and Regulation, a description of the Nuclear Development Center, the characteristics of the proposed site, and an evaluation of the potential hazards associated with operating the test reactor at this location.

This report presents the thermal and hydraulic analyses, both steady state and transient, for the CETR. Methods of calculations are discussed and results of analyses are presented. Steady state analyses are included for: pressure drops, flow distribution, orificing, burnout, fuel central melting, local boiling, and bulk boiling. Transient analyses are performed for several loss of forced coolant flow incidents.

The method present can be used to determine fluid flow and coolant pump speed transients in a nuclear reactor system. Included are transients due to power failure, starting pumps in idle loops, and the opening of an active pump's discharge. Parallel pumps in the system may be analysed independently of each other. Typical cases are presented for the N.S. Savannah (NMSR) and Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor (CETR).
