The following is all the information the authors can get on the graphite bar history from the A and G test holes at C-Reactor. The A test hole was charged with 18--23 1/2 inch long graphite bars before the original startup of C-Reactor. This was 6/12/53. On 9/21/63 seven of the graphite bars were discharged. Position {number_sign}18 thru {number_sign}12. Positions {number_sign}11 thru {number_sign}1 are still in the reactor. Data on the seven bars discharged and the eleven bars still in the reactor is given. On 7/21/59 a 2-foot section of tube block was removed from the G test hole. This tube block had received 15,462 MWD/AT at time of discharge. On 4/21/60 three solid graphite bars were removed from the G test hole. These bars received a total of 18,642 MWD/AT. There are six more bars in the G test hole. They are in positions 1 thru 6. The approximate total exposure is given
