SNAP Reactor Aerospace Nuclear Safety Program. Annual report, GFY 1968
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4113157
Techniques were developed for calculating the effects of Gd-155 addition to SNAP reactors. Gadolinium oxide was successfully added to nickel and rolled into foils 2 mils thick; it was demonstrated that these foils are compatible with the SNAPTRAN machine. An operating manual for the intrinsic subcriticality experiments using the SNAPTRAN machine was completed, and reviews with appropriate safety authorities were started. Test procedures for the experimental program were completed and approved, and checkout was begun. (auth)
