SUMMARY HAZARDS REPORT FOR ZERO POWER TESTS WITH THE R-1 MOCKUP REACTOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4814009
A proposed test is outlined to verify nuclear characteristics of the first air-cycle aircraft reactor. The program includes experiments on power distribution, rod reactivity, thermal flux traverses, and temperature effects on moderator and fuel elements. The R-l Mockup Reactor used in the experiments is similar to the design reactor. (J.R.D.)
