SM-1 (APPR-1) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM ACTIVITY BUILDUP PROGRAM. TASK I. Status Report for February to November 1958
Results are given of experimental work performed from February to November 1958 to determine the nature and extent of the build-up of radioactivity in the primary system of the SM-1 (APPR-1). The results of radiochemical and chemical analyses of primary water, circulating crud, and deposits removed from metal test specimens are presented. The relationships between build-up of activity and calendar hours, reactor operation, and crud levels are given. The methods and results of dose rate measurements made on the primary system components are reported. (auth
