Abstract

Reactor design and development studies included: work on the Argonne Research Reactor (CP-5); and feasibility studies steam-generating plutonium- producing reactors which are D/sub 2/O-moderated, natural uranium reactors contained in pressurized tanks. Work done in reactor research was devoted to: the CP-6 bond-testing program, consisting of leak testing of fuel slugs, temperature cycling of canned slugs, ultrasonic inspections of bonded area and applications of oil diffusion methods for determining cracks; water quality control experiments for CP-6 program; instrument loops for slug rupture detection; low-temperature corrosion of aluminum; radiation effects studies on type-347 stainless steel, type A Nickel, fatigue in springs, creep of constantan wire, and the stability of slurries; and determining disadvantage factors in a uranium -- H/sub 2/O-graphite lattices.
