Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4776381
Activities in a program of research on circulating fuel reactors and other ANP projects are reported. Information and data are included on aircraft reactor engineering, chemistry, metallurgy, heat transfer, properties of reactor materials, radiation damage, fuel processing, critical experiments and reactor shielding. The specific objectives of the program include design, construction, and operation of the Aircraft Reactor Test (ART). The ART is a 60 Mw circulating- fuel reflector-moderated reactor and adequate means for heat disposal. (J.R.D.)
