The thermal conductivity of neutron-irradiated reactor-grade graphites made from needle coke (H-327), Gilsocoke (H-328), and isotropic petroleum coke (H-451) was measured between 22 and 800°C. Irradiation temperatures were between 600 and 16OO"C, and fast neutron fluences ranged up to lO22 n/cm\* (E
DE HALAS and YOSHIKAWA(') have suggested that when graphite is irradiated with fast neutrons, an equilibrium state of disorder may be approached. Evidence for the disordering of graphite by fast neutron irradiation has been well documented. (2) The existence, however, of an equilibrium state of diso
