Metal critical assemblies are used to investigate the variations in heterogeneous cores. The tabulation of these facilities in Part V excludes those that have been operated and subsequently dismantled.
Page 1574 - Certain projects relating to military and space systems are not listed in detail because of their classified nature. Information is presented in five parts, each of which is categorized by primary function or purpose. The major parts, namely, civilian, military, production, and export, as well as such categories as power and propulsion, are self-explanatory.
