Technical progress on the research and development program being performed in connection with the design of the Sioux Falls Power Reactor is reported. Areas covered include fuel-material cladding, bonding, and irradiation testing; heat-transfer and fluid-flow studies; fuel-element manufacturing research and development; construction of nuclear handling tools; design of a low- enrichment superheater fuel element; vessel, structure, recirculation system, and control rod studies; analyses of reactor and system dynamics and critical experiments; and initial stability and performance tests.
