Thermal expansion characteristics were determined for the fuel-moderator, reflector, cladding, and engineering materials within the SNAP-2 core vessel. Values were determined for AISI Type 347 stainless steel, Hastelloy N, beryllium, zirconium, zirconium hydride, and zirconium-uranium hydrides, from room temperature to temperatures greater than 1300°F. Derived equations were calculated for these materials, using a least squares analysis.
