Abstract
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.
