DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4204418· OSTI ID:4204418

A description is given of a program by which the behavior of a nuclear reactor during various thermal transients may be studied. The program is written for a 32,000-word IBM-704 computer with six tape units. It is designed to predict the behavior of a water-cooled and moderated reactor with flat plate fuel elements during transients which are slower than a prompt excursion and during which the reactor flow. inlet temperature, and control rod motion may be specified as a function of time.
