Start-up of the 100-B pile following 1569-B tube failure
Tube 1569-B ruptured on September 22, 1948 and was replaced. Between the time of failure and final isolation of this tube, considerable water escaped into the graphite packing. As a result, the unit start-up and subsequent operation was quite different from that usually followed. This report has been prepared to summarize the observations and activities related to this operation.
