OSTI ID:4834327

Pyrolytic and radiolytic tests on organic coolants are described. The chemical analysis of a high-boiling polyphenyl that is formed upon irradiation of terphenyl is outlined. The reclamation of high boilers by hydrocracking over catalysts is examined. Various stabilizers are tested with regard to their inhibition of radiolysis. Thermal stability tests are performed on several industrial oils; the eftects of dewaxing and/or hydrodealkylating of these oils on their stability are studied. Progress on the design of fuel and coolant technology loops for the LOCR is reported. Reactor physics calculations are carried out for the EOCR for several proposed core loadings. Design progress on the LOCR is discussed. (T.F.H.)
