Spert Project. Quarterly Technical Report for April, May, June 1959

Description: SPERT I: The characteristics of the boiling process and its relatin to moderator expulsion in Spert I were investigated in a series of capsule type experiments. A fuel-bearing oapsule, instrumented to provide pressure, volume, and temperature data during transient power excursions, was placed in a high flux region of the Spert I P core. Five step-induced transients initiated from boiling indicate that the kinetic behavior of the stainless steel clad P-18/19 core is dependent on initial temperat… more
