AIRCRAFT NUCLEAR PROPULSION PROJECT QUARTERLY PROGRESS REPORT FOR PERIOD ENDING JUNE 10, 1953
The technical progress of the research on the circulating fuel reactor aad other ANP research at ORNL is recorded. The nucleus of the effort on circulating fuel reactors is centered upon the Aircraft Reactor Experiment, a 3- Mw high-temperature prototype of a circulating fuel reactor for the propulsion of aircraft. The experiment is being assembled, and its status is summarized. Other research areas reported on include experimental reactor engineering, reactor physics, reflector-moderated reactor critical experiments, chemistry of high-temperature liquids, corrosion research, metallurgy and ceramics, heat transfer and physical properties, radiation damage, analytical studies of reactor materials, fluoride fuel reprocessing, Lid Tank Facility, and Tower Shielding Facility.
