A description including drawings and pictures of the N.S. Savannah. The reactor core, control- Primary coolant circuit, pressure vessel, and heat exchangers are described. In addition the functions of several auxiliary circuits such as the systems for primary purification, hydrogen injection, buffer seal, component waste and drain, gaseous waste, sampling, primary relief, intermediate cooling, and emergency cooling are discussed. The Savannah's arrangements for shielding and containment and the electrical plant are also described. A general review is made of safety problems and precautions. The reactor mock-up which served as a check for designs during construction was also used in training the crew. (M.C.G.)
