Bulk Shielding Facility quarterly report, April--june 1978
The BSR operated at an average power level of 1771 kW for 64.78 percent of the time during April, May, and June. Water-quality control in both the reactor primary and secondary cooling systems was satisfactory. The BSR was operated at low and variable power during this quarter for 52.684 hours as part of the training programs for nuclear engineering students from the University of Tennessee and Mississippi State University. The PCA was also used in the above-mentioned training programs and was operated on four occasions when Mississippi State University students actively participated in training laboratories. The PCA was also operated on sixteen occasions for the Pressure Vessel-Simulator Benchmark Experiment.
