PROGRESS REPORT OF THE REACTOR SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT FOR OCTOBER 1-DECEMBER 31, 1951

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4351177
Liquid Metal Fuel Reactor component development continued with design of circulating loops, both in and out of pile, for testing fuel corrosion, fuel processing, and blanket behavior. The effect of decreased moderation on the outer part of the core and on the heat exchanger was studied. Processing of blanket and fuel was investigated, and data on the kinetics of the blanket regeneration cycle are given. Tube and shell-type heat exchangers are compared. Some calculations on a normal water reactor are given. Other studies reported on include: effect of spherical voids on gamma attenuation in water, two-column system for light end decontamination of UF/sub 6/, and creep corrosion and thermal cycling of BNL reactor fuel elements.
