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

Abstract

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)
