Clifford, C E

Based on information obtained from earlier experiments and further engineering study, a final design of the top plug was made in which the B/sub 4/C layer was reduced in thickness and replaced with solid iron in the inner regions. The thickness of the iron and B/sub 4/C was chosen to reduce the radiation damage in the water following the layers to a tolerable limit. The actual shield design stipulated a 40% Fe--60% H/sub 2/O mixture for the region beyond the B/sub 4/C layers. (A.C.)
