This progress report summarizes the work performed using Purdue University's Fast Breeder Blanket Facility during the months January-March 1979. Progress on the development and testing of experimental methods and techniques is reported. Preliminary experimental results for the Th-232 neutron capture experiment are reported and compared with the reaction rates calculated using the computer code 2DB. Preliminary gamma heating measurements in lead, as a function of radial position, are also presented. The effect of neutron interaction in the TLD dosimeters on the gamma heating measurements is also discussed.
