In the design of nuclear reactor core subassemblies, a stress analysis is often made of a subassembly whose plates differ in geometry, in reactor coolant pressure loading, and in temperature distribution. Bettis code S0131 was developed for the IBM-650 computer to assess the adequacy of the subassembly design and to assist in determining acceptable manufacturing tolerances. The output of the code gives redundant weld reactions, deformations, and stresses in the individual plates. (auth)
