Voice, E H

It is proposed to include in the Dragon core a large number of small graphite specimens to assess their irradiation behaviour and their possibilities for a future power reactor. Several series of fuel elements containing such specimens will be withdrawn after different intervals, providing various neutron doses and degrees of damage. This report describes the specimens in the first of these elements, giving details of the nature of the graphites, the sample positions, the temperatures and fluxes anticipated, the pre-irradiation data, the methods of flux monitoring, and the post-irradiation measurements required.
