QC786 .R4 1955.
The Atomic Energy Commission recognized the need for a comprehensive source of nuclear reactor information and data. They
published a three-volume reactor handbook in 1955. Volume 1 covered Physics, Volume 2 covered Engineering, and Volume 3 covered
Shielding. These documents provided a wealth of information to the early reactor designers.
