EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF REFLECTIVE INSULATION FOR THE EXPERIMENTAL GAS- COOLED REACTOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4091915
Apparatus and techniques were developed for evaluation of reflective insulation for use in the EGCR. Resistance of experimental samples to thermal cycling and to rapid decompression was demonstrated, and conductance measurements were carried out in helium at 1050 deg F over a range of pressures from 3 to 315 psia. Conductance values for specimens 3 in. thick ranged from 1.15 to 1.58 Btu/ (ft/sup 2/)(hr)( deg F) at 1050 deg F face temperature. (auth)
