OSTI ID:4170860

The Turret experiment at Los Alamos is described. This experiment was planned to determine the behavior of unclad, porous graphite fuel elements, impregnated with fully enriched uranium, in a 3Mw(th) reactor. The feasibility of producing helium at 2400 tained F for process heat use was to be demonstrated. (Studies of deposition and removal of volatile fission products were also planned. (M.C.G.)
