- Alco Products, Inc., Schenectady, NY (United States)
The Zero Power Experiments for the APPR-1 and the Criticality Facility at the Alco Plant in which the experiments will be performed are described. It is shown that even in case of sabotage where the reactor is made to go on a Borax type excursion, no serious radiation effects will be suffered by the surrounding population.
