Cox, J A

The second year of Oak Ridge Research Reactor (ORR) operation was marked by steady progress toward more stable operation of the reactor. Control problems were reduced sufficiently to allow an operating time. during the last quarter, of greater than 81%. The reactor has been operated effectively at 20 Mw, with the exception of the period of July 18 to Oct. 4 when operation was at 16 Mw. Design changes are being made to allow operation at 30 Mw to begin during the summer of 1960. Sections from the four quarterly reports of the Operations Division are compiled. (W.D.M.)
