DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4106796· OSTI ID:4106796
COOLBALL is an IBM 650 machine program designed to calculate local gas and ball temperatures, gas flow, and pressure loss as induced by nonuniform power generation and voidage within an axial flow pebble-bed reactor core. This code was used extensively to study the thermal characteristics of pebble-bed reactor cores in support of a broad program for the development of the PBR concept. (auth)
