Posted by Carl Daniel I served in the RC gang under George Mather from 5/61 to 4/64. I'm not absolutely sure about this but I believe the two prototypes at GE-Schenecty were known as S1G and S2G while the reactors on Triton were S3G and S4G. The core design consisted of many twisted oval rods clustered into fuel elements (vs plates in the Westinghouse and Combustion Engineering designs). This design was supposed to provide much better heat transfer and was supposed to lead to S5G which was to be a natural circulation design, without primary circ pumps. I remember doing natural circ experiments on Triton but don't know if S5G ever happened. Good luck.
