A description is given of the design characteristics of the Consort training and research reactor. The design is characterized by compactness and simplicity. This leads to low capital and operating costs. It will combine the principal advantages of the swimming-pool and enclosed tank types of reactor by providing the accessibility and ease of fuel handling of the former while retaining the compact layout of the latter. The initial design is for a 10kw thermal output, using standard fuel elements of enriched-uranium alloy, which will be moderated and cooled by ondinary (demineralized) water. A modified design allows the output to be extended to 100-kw. The higher neutron intensities thus obtained will enable radioisotopes of high specific activity to be produced, as well as the experimental facilities to be enhanced. (B.O.G.)
