Progress report for Nuclear Technology Division, September 1980 - June 1982

Abstract

Major areas of research and development in both fission and fusion technology are reported. Work in fission technology includes neutronics and fluid heat transfer studies primarily dedicated to the support of HIFAR reactor operation. A small experimental program has been established to investigate the neutronics of fusion reactor blanket configurations. The methods and data libraries developed for fission reactor core analyses have been modified and extended to allow their effective use in fusion reactor blanket problems. A list of publications is included.
