- Abstract
- This quarterly progress report covers the period from April 1, 1980 to July 1, 1980. During this period, work has covered (1) rod fabrication, (2) determination of combustion temperature profiles, and (3) development of radiant pyrolysis procedures (shield). Progress is slightly behind schedule because of early difficulties in obtaining quality polystyrene (PS) rods. However, most procedures are now worked out, and we expect future progress to be rapid.
