Specifications were prepared for the control rod absorber sections for Core Il of Army Reactor PM-2A. The neutron absorber section was composed of composite plates welded into the form of a rectangular parallelepiped. The composite plates were made of compacts of europium oxide in a stainless steel matrix clad with stainless steel by hot-roll bonding. Specifications covering materials and processes are included in the repont along with fabrication qualification tests. (M.C.G.
