Development of Iron-Aluminum Base Alloy for Gas Cooled Reactor Components: Final Report

Description: From summary: Description of an iron-aluminum-chromium alloy, DB-2, used as the starting point of a program initiated to develop an iron-aluminum base alloy for cladding gas-cooled reactor core components. Secondary aims were to gain knowledge of fuel element fabric-ability, radiation effects and acid solubility of iron-aluminum base alloys.

Fluidized Bed Reactor Study: Phase I - Feasibility

Description: From abstract: The Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR) consists of a bed of fuel pellets which circulate in a confined core region as the result of the upward flow of fluid through the particles. In the present concept the fluid acts as a fluidizing, coolant and reactor moderator medium. This report is the results of the Phase I study to determine the feasibility of this concept.
