Irradiation programs were carried out to establish that the materials selected for the Dragon Reactor will maintain satisfactory operating characteristics for the time expected of them. The following experiments are described and the information obtained in them presented: pressure vessel steel irradiation; graphite irradiation; fuel capsule rig testing; fuel element replacement rig testing; evaluation of small-scale high-power-density samples; and studies with DIDO loop, fission-product-emission loops, Pluto loop, and in- pile carbon transport loop.
