A Program for Investigation of Metallic Hydrides as Moderators, Reflectors, and Shields for Aircraft Reactors
- North American Aviation, Inc., Canoga Park, CA (United States)
The applications of metallic hydrides, especially zirconium hydride, in nuclear technology are reviewed, with particular emphasis upon their use in advanced aircraft reactor designs. Pertinent research currently in progress at other sites is summarized. A two-year program of research is proposed for the purpose of developing and evaluating metallic hydrides having improved properties for use as high-temperature moderators, reflectors and shields, and for supplying fundamental information on the hydrides to be employed in aircraft reactors.
