APEX-411 Irradiation Testing of Organic Liquids
By: G. W. POMEROY and V. P. CALKINS, 8.2 MB, PDF
This report summarizes the results of irradiation tests of
organic materials conducted in the HB-2 facility of the LITR
and in the electron beam of the GE-ANPD 2-Mev Van de Graaff accelerator. Several
organic liquids capable of withstanding
temperatures up to 6500F have been tested, and descriptions of the tests and
typical data are presented.

Fuel Cartridge
HTRE-2
Below is a fuel cartridge for the HTRE-2 reactor core.
Each cartridge consisted of many sub inserts of U235stacked together.
Compressor air flowed thru the multi concentric ring arrangement, picking up
heat energy from the reactor
process.
