RUNAWAY ANALYSIS FOR A GAS-COOLED REACTOR
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4013986
An IBM 704 digital computer program is presented that solves numerically and simultaneously the equations that describe gross reactor behavior under runaway conditions. Fuel element vaporization and expulsion is the chief shutdown mechanism. It is described by assuming a model of a simple convergent nozzle for the flow of fuel element vapor from the reactor. However, other shutdown mechanisms may also be used. This program is a unification, modification, and modernization of two existing ANPD IBM 704 programs, No. 31 and No. 129, which in part deal with the same subject. (auth)
