Horizontal control rods for ``C`` Reactor
A meeting was held on May 17 to review possible alternate designs of horizontal rods for 105-C. The system used on ``C`` must operate satisfactorily at an anticipated graphite temperature of 380 C (760 F) with the possibility expressed by the Technical Division that this temperature limitations may be raised if satisfactory new pile atmospheres can be developed. The design will be based on a maximum graphite growth of 3 inches at a distance of 3 feet from the edge of the graphite block. This value ignores the anticipated favorable results from graphite coring, and is greater than the growth expected in ``C`` based on experience with present reactors. A satisfactory rod end seal configuration is required for these conditions. It was decided that a round control rod with external seal would be recommended to meet these conditions.
