Aqueous Homogeneous Research Reactors

This is a brochure summarizing some Aqueous Homogeneous Reactors (AHRs) used for research. These reactors use fluid fuel with uranium dissolved in a solution. This brochure is based on Geneva Paper No. 1543, which was presented in September 1958 at the Second United Nations International Conference on the Peaceful Uses of Atomic Energy. Some changes and additions have been made to include reactor developments through early 1959. Two sections have been added: experimental data acquired during recent operation of the L-77 Laboratory Reactor are included, and a summary of the Kinetic Experiment on Water Boilers (known as the KEWB Program) is given in the Development Program section. To supplement the technical descriptions provided by the text, the number of photographs has been greatly increased.
