...spherical stainless steel tank one foot in diameter. Inside is a water solution of uranyl nitrate which contains 1.9 lb. of fissionable U-235. Water running through a coiled tube keeps the reactor cool, and another tube piercing the sphere gives access to its interior. One big advantage of HYPO is that it is self-regulating. If the chain reaction gets going too fast, the solution heats up and expands, reducing its density and therefore its reactivity. So the reaction slows down automatically until the solution has cooled off. This built-in stability makes HYPO a safe and easy basic...
