Richland five-year 02 R&D program: Co-60 Program

Description: This Cobalt 60 program is part of the Richland five year 02 R&D program. Topics discussed in this summary include incentives, scope and objectives, progress during report period, budget period plans, and an evaluation of progress against plans and objectives. Progress has reasonably paralleled expected results in that megacurie quantities of Co-60 have been secured with activities of 20--60 curies per gram by January 1966 and 100 curies per gram by July 1967.

Thermo-Physics Technical Note No. 60: thermal analysis of SNAP 10A reactor core during atmospheric reentry and resulting core disintegration and fuel element separation

Description: A thermal analysis is carried out to determine the temperature distribution throughout a SNAP 10A reactor core, particularly in the vicinity of the grid plates, during atmospheric reentry. The transient temperatue distribution of the grid plate indicates when sufficient melting occurs so that fuel elements are free to be released and continue their descent individually.
