Gamma heating in reflector heat shield of gas core reactor
Heating rate measurements made in a mock-up of a BeO heat shield for a gas core nuclear rocket engine yields results nominally a factor of two greater than calculated by two different methods. The disparity is thought to be caused by errors in neutron capture cross sections and gamma spectra from the low cross-section elements, D, O, and Be.

Generation of a uranium plasma at near gaseous core reactor conditions.
A constricted sliding spark discharge is used to generate a high density, high temperature uranium plasma. Uranium particle densities up to 10 to the 20th power per cu cm are obtained over a temperature range of 30,000 to 50,000 K. The device consists of a capillary discharge channel lined with pressed and sintered UO2. A 250 joule capacitor bank is discharged into the channel, producing a plasma of 10-20 microsec duration. Spectroscopic observations are made over the spectral range of 1300 to 2500 A.
