    The Australian high temperature gas-cooled reactor research project
    (Australian Atomic Energy Commission, 1964-07) Alder, KF; Roberts, WH
    A brief history is given of activities at the Lucas Heights Research Establishment, and the reasons that led up to the selection of beryllium oxide for investigation as a promising moderator material in high temperature gas—cooled reactor systems. The choice of a pebble—bed core for an initial design study of an actual reactor is discussed; the results to date and an outline of the future programme are presented.
