Camp NRTS History by Bob Martin

Robert Martin, who worked at INEL in the late 1980s and early 1990s, continues to post interesting information about the activities in reactor safety thermal-hydraulics, and related matters. Bob includes URL links to associated documents, and his articles include more about experiments that I have.

Several of Bob’s articles are related to subjects that are mentioned here at campnrts.blog.
