The Supercritical Water Reactor

Description: From summary: "During 1951 NDA has, at the request of ORNL, been studying the supercritical-water reactor as proposed for aircraft propulsion in Wash-24...This study has concerned itself only with the reactor and shield." The report describes the reactor and the processes involved in developing it. The goal of the development of this reactor is identified as a path to supersonic flight.

The Nuclear Reactor with a Transverse Air Gap

Description: Diffusion theory and transport theory approaches to the problem of a nuclear reactor with a transverse air gap are compared. It is suggested that the differences in results for thin gaps is due to the fact that diffusion theory does not adequately represent the flux distribution in the immediate vicinity of the gap. For mathematical conveniences previous treatments of the gap problem have made use of fictitious image piles which exaggerate the neutron losses. The extent of the error is estimate… more

Paper for Glasgow Conference on Nuclear Physics: Cosmotron Production of Heavy Mesons

Description: One might expect that the Cosmotron would offer certain advantages over cosmic rays for the study of heavy unstable particles; provided, of course, that it can produce them. In the first place, the conditions under which they are produced could be controlled to a considerably greater extent. In the second place, it might be possible to arrange conditions under which they would be observed more abundantly, an actual beam of heavy mesons being the ideal situation.
