METHOD OF FABRICATING A GRAPHITE MODERATED REACTOR

Patent ·
OSTI ID:4717472
S>A nuclear reactor formed of spaced bodies of uranium and graphite blocks is improved by diffusing helium through the graphite blocks in order to replace the air in the pores of the graphite with helium. The helium-impregnated graphite conducts heat better, and absorbs neutrons less, than the original air- impregnated graphite. (AEC)
