Survey of U-Bi Reactors,

Abstract

The liquid fuel group is investigating the following reactor type: a graphite structure with channels for a U-Bi solution in the core, and a Th-Bi slurry in the blanket. The core and blanket are internally cooled, a small amount of the U-Bi solution being diverted to the blanket for this purpose. A survey of the nuclear properties of this reactor type as a function of the degree of moderation and enrichment is given in the present memorandum.
