Title: DESIGN AND DEVELOPMENT OF A FUEL PLATE SURFACE THERMOCOUPLE FOR SPECIAL POWER EXCURSION REACTOR TESTS. Final Summary Report covering the period August 1956 through February 1957

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4340842

Two fuel plates were instrumented for testing in the SPERT-1 reactor, three chromel-alumel thermocouples being installed on each. The junctions on one plate were formed by transformer welding, using an overlay-plate technique, and those on the second by condenser-discharge welding. Bared ends of the sheathed leads were flattened to form the junctions. Performance has been reported to be satisfactory. (auth)
