ORGANIC MATERIALS FOR USE AS REACTOR MODERATOR-COOLANTS

Physical and chemical properties of organic compounds considered for reactor moderator-coolants are tabulated and discussed. Included are compounds grouped in categories such as polyphenyls, fused ring aromatics, alkyl aromatics, miscellaneous, and mixtures. In addition, information on analytical methods, radiation effects, and handling safety is given. It is noted that data on some compounds and systems are limited. (J.R.D.)
