A 10 MEGAWATT RADIATION EFFECTS REACTOR FOR THE IRRADIATION OF LARGE EQUIPMENT COMPONENTS AND ASSEMBLIES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4307328
This reactor was designed and fabricated for installation at Lockheed's Nuclear Facility at Dawsonville, Georgia. Its purpose is to provide a facility for determining radiation effects on assemblies too large to be irradiated in experimental tubes or beam ports. This is a high radiation leakage reactor which will operate in air in an irradiation building with assemblies placed adjacent to the reactor for irradiation. The reactor is a pressurized water cooled and moderated reactor contained in a long slender pressure vessel, using MTR type, Al clad, flat plate, U-Al alloy fuol elementa highly enriched in U/sup 235/.
