Homogeneous Reactor Project Quarterly Progress Report: November 15, 1951

Description: From summary: "Construction of the HRE facility was essentially complete on November 15, 1951 except for minor revisions and final testing. A program of engineering and nuclear tests of the system hasbeen drawn up, and the tests will be started early in the next quarter. The only major HRE items for which design is not complete are the samplers for the fuel, [gas], and reflector systems. These will be completed in time to be installed before critical experiments begin; meanwhile, temporary samp… more
