Samuels, G.

The report given is the third of a series of quarterly progress reports for the Coal-Fired Alkali Metal Power System Design Study. The effort during this quarter was devoted to the design and analysis of an atmospheric pressure fluidized bed furnace-boiler system for either cesium or potassium. The tasks receiving the most attention during this period were the selection and analysis of the basic plant arrangement, the design of the furnace-alkali metal boiler, and the analysis of the alkali metal condenser-steam boiler.
