Summary
The ART is to be a 60-Mw reflector-moderated circulating-fuel type whose basic design is suitable for use in aircraft. The new principle of design introduced in the ART consists of circulating the fuel through the reactor in a single, thick, annular passage and achieving the major portion of the moderation with a Be reflector which will also serve as an important portion of the shield. Descriptions are given of the reactor, reactor cell, test site, reactor controls, and operating plan. Three major categories of hazards are considered: accidents with an appreciable probability of occurring, accidents causing rupture of the pressure shell, and accidents causing rupture of the reactor cell.
