  • Abstract
    This last article of a series developed by the AIEE nucleonics committee is concerned mainly with a discussion of the various technical and engineering problems which arise in the process of transferring the energy of the fission reaction into heat in the steam or gas to be used in the heat engine. The purpose of these articles has been to furnish the reader with an over-all picture of recent developments in nucleonics and allied fields. The entire series is scheduled for early publication in pamphlet form.
