After a brief survey of chemonuclear reactor studies in progress, reactor design considerations are discussed. The fuel must be thin ribbons, plates, a porous material, or a dust for intimate contact with the reactants. Reactor stability is a problem with the process stream moving through the core. Decontamination of the process stream will be necessary. Optimum fuel particle size or plate thickness is 1 to 10 mu and reactor loadings of interest have 0.1 to 2 lb of fuel per pound of process fluid. Several fuel arrangements are outlined. The Hercules Powder Company scheme for producing ethylene glycol from methane is described in detail, including results of irradiation studies. (T.R.H.)
