Ray Klebesadel is a scientist, now retired, who was a member of the gamma ray astronomy group at the Los Alamos National Laboratory LANL in New Mexico that discovered cosmic gamma ray bursts using data from the Vela satellite s, which were deployed by the United States after the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty of 1963, to police the ban on nuclear test s in space.

unreferenced date September 2009 POV date February 2011 The University of Texas of the Permian Basin UTPB and the Los Alamos National Laboratory LANL , are proposing a multifaceted energy research facility called the High Temperature Teaching & Test Reactor HT sup 3 sup R or HT3R to be located in Andrews County, Texas. The proposal envisions a 25MWt Megawatt thermal reactor operated by a merchant nuclear power operating company with the education and science at the facility managed through an arrangement between LANL and UTPB UTS University of Texas System . The original Pre Conceptual Design PCD for the facility was completed in January, 2008 by UTPB and General Atomics . The HT sup 3 sup R , per the PCD, is a Generation IV GEN IV gas cooled with Helium reactor with a graphite block core containing fuel compacts. These compacts are made by mixing graphite with TRISO fuel pellets with Low Enriched Uranium LEU which has less than 20 of Uranium 235 . However, the new planned operating temperature of 700 sup o sup to 750 sup o sup C is well below the previous PCD operating temperature of 850 sup o sup to 900 sup o sup C first called for by the DOE s NGNP program. The HT sup 3 sup R will be the experimental cornerstone of a new energy research center at the UTPB . Since the early 1990s no new university teaching and training reactors have been constructed and in fact many across the United States have been shut down. Further, only two other aging water cooled research reactors, one at the University of Missouri 1966 and one at the National Institute of Standards and Technology 1967 , are capable of operating at power levels greater than 10 MWt that can provide useful facilities for fuel qualification, training, and basic advanced research. Neither of these reactors can provide the enhanced capabilities necessary for education, research and pilot scale testing for Gen IV reactor systems. The mission of the HT sup 3 sup R is to serve as a national user facility for br Dem ... more details
