The method for calculating relative heat generation as a function of radius of an equivalent ``G`` type cylindrical pile for specified inhours of ideal flattening is given in INDC-3833. The report has been extended to include flattening curves for the range of zero to 800 inhours. Equations have been integrated to determine average relative power per tube for a fixed amount of flattening. Average relative power per tube, number of effective tubes, kw per effective tube, and maximum temperature rise per tube for 34.6 gpm water flow rate per effective tube are tabulated in Table 1 for several values of flattening of an 800 MW--2,220 tube pile.
