This document is submitted in response to a request from the Atomic Energy Commission for a report on the safety aspects of reactor operation at bulk outlet temperatures in the neighborhood of 95 C. To properly describe the safety aspects of operation it is necessary to address the report to the engineering parameters associated with reactor operation and compare them to actual technical limits. Also, some discussion of administrative power level limits and bulk outlet temperature is in order.
