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.
