Design and construction of a liquid nitrogen cryostat for use in a swimming pool type reactor

Author

Bruce B. Joiner

Abstract

"The continued expansion of the nuclear reactor facility and the nuclear engineering program dictates the need that a liquid nitrogen cooled cryostat be available at the reactor. This unit would be available for use in graduate and undergraduate laboratories and for graduate research. A liquid nitrogen cooled cryostat capable of maintaining a sample between 77°K to 80°K for an extended period of time in or adjacent to the core of the reactor was designed, constructed, and successfully operated. Recommendations were made for possible modifications to expand the versatility of the system"--Abstract, page ii.
