Nuclear Dirigo
On April 22, 1959, Rear Admiral George J. King, superintendent of the Maine Maritime Academy, announced that following the completion of the 1960 training cruise, cadets would begin the study of nuclear engineering. Courses at that time included radiation physics, reactor control and instrumentation, reactor theory and engineering, thermodynamics, shielding, core design, reactor maintenance, and nuclear aspects.

Brazing techniques for joining dissimilar materials considered for tube-to-armor joints of high-temperature graphite space radiators have been investigated. The combinations tested consisted of Cb-1Zr and type-316 stainless-steel alloys, each brazed with developmental alloys to Graphitite-G and an expanded form of pyrolytic graphite. Stability test results are reported for specimens brazed and aged 500 h at 1350°F (734°C) or thermally cycled 500 times between 350°F (177°C) and 1350°F under a pressure of 10−5 torr (max). Brazing and thermal stability tests indicated that compatible braze bonds can be made between the graphites and potential tube materials.
