AIRCRAFT NUCLEAR PROPULSION PROJECT QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING SEPTEMBER 10, 1955
The technical process of the research on circulating fuel reactors and other ANP research at ORNL is summarized. The design construction, and operation of the 60Mw Aircraft Reactor Test (ART) are the specific objectives of the project. Operation of the system will be for the purpose of determining the feasibility, and the problems associated with the design, construction, and operation, of a high-power, circulating-fuel, reflector-moderated airmoderated reactor, experimental reactor engineering, critical experiments, chemistry of reactor materials, corrosion research, metallurgy and ceramics, heat transfer and physical properties, radiation damage, analytic chemistry of reactor materials, and recovery and reprocessing of reactor fuels.
