A review of Hanford power level limits

As for any nuclear reactor, the operation of the Hanford reactors is governed by many technical and administrative considerations. With the completion of current project action, later this year, certain of the technical limitations on reactor power level will be relieved, notably at the K Reactors, At that time, the technical and engineering limitations will be more liberal at some reactors than required for operation at the administrative power level limits, imposed by the Atomic Energy Commission, that are currently in force. The following report discusses the various technical factors governing reactor power levels and compares these with the currently imposed administrative power level limits.
