OSTI ID:4167061

The Army Gas Cooled Reactor System Program includes four projects: The Gas Cooled Reactor Experiment I (GCRE-I); the Gas Cooled Reactor Experiment Il (GCRE-II); the ML-1 (a mobile, low power nuclear power plant): and the Gas Turbine Test Facility (GTTF). Building and construction, reactor design and development, reactor instrumentation, and fuel element development and fabrication for GCRE-I are covered. Capsule loop tests and neutronics for GCRE- II are discussed. The auxiliaries, power conversion equipment, instrumentation and controls, and reactor engineering for ML-1 are detailed. A brief summary of the GTTF work is included. (For preceding period see IDO-28542.) (W.D.M.)
