HEAVY WATER COMPONENTS TEST REACTOR. Papers Presented to The American Nuclear Society on June 17, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4206594
A collection of five papers covering some of the preliminary physics studies on the HWCTR is presented. The physical facilities of the reactor are described and some measurements made in a full-scale mockup constructed in the Process Development Pile are discussed. Reactivity transients and coefficients and power, temperature, and pressure transients for a variety of postalated accidents are calculated. Condensations of the papers appeared in Transactions of The American Nuclear Society, Vol, n, No, 1. (W.D.M.)
