| Description/Abstract | Reactors in general are discussed preliminary to the description of the Aquilon experimental reactor. Aquilon is a research reactor designed to operate intermittently at low power levels. The usual power level is one watt, the maximum, 100 watts with a neutron flux at the center of 10/sup 9//sup 2/sec. It operates at ordinary temperatures, presenting no cooling problem and the shielding requirements aee very simple. It is fuelled with natural U, moderated by heavy water and has a graphite reflector. Control, safety, experimental facilities and nuclear characteristics are also described. (T.R.H.) |
