The meltdown of the blanket and the ingress of steam into the blanket are analyzed. The analysis is carried out over the blanket lifetime in order to determine the effects of plutonium production on the potential for blanket criticality. Condition: Good. No dust jacket. Cover has some wear and soiling. Edge tears to a couple of pages.
