Technical Report · Tue Dec 29 00:00:00 EST 1959

OSTI ID:4192369

Williams, J B

The calandria-type replacement core for SRE is designed to operate at 1200 deg F. Descriptions of the core and the pumpout and vent system are given. Calculations are presented on heat generated in the moderator and reflector, nuclear data on core materials, thermal performance, coolant flow and pressure drop, and nuclear stability. The core mock-up construction is described. (C.J.G.)
