DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4226955· OSTI ID:4226955

The Internal Exponential Experiment (ZPR-V) is to be constructed by loading up to 49 of the fuel cans, containing up to 155 kg of U/sup 235/, of the Fast Exponential Experiment in a 22-in. square iron tank, surrounded by an annular thermal region of fully enriched light water lattice 10 to 15 cm thick. Maximum power is about 1 kw. The Last region, thermal annulus, safety evaluation, and hazards to surrounding area are discussed. (W.D.M.)
