The reactor planned by UCNC is a pool-type research reactor to be located in Sterling Forest, near Tuxedo Park, New York. Operation will be at thermal power levels up to 5 Mw with a corresponding average thermal neutron flux of 3.3 x 10/sup 13/ n/cm/sup 2/sec. MTRtype fuel elements are used and are arranged on a grid supported by a bridge spanning a two-section pool. Forced circulation of light water moderates and cools the reactor. The reactor can operate in either of two sections of the pool. The stall provides beam tubes, pneumatic rabbits, and a thermal column; the open or pool end permits bulk irradiation. A hydraulic rabbit, operating tom the core support bridge, provides an additional irraniation facility. The pool-type reactor is housed in a reinforced concrete containment structure designed for low nir leakage. Adjacent laboratories provide supporting facilities, including hot laboratories, shops, offices, and warm laboratories for implementing the research programs. This report reviews the many safety features planned for operation and incorporated in the design of the facilities. Natural hazards, minor accidents, maximum start-up accident, credible serious accidents, maximum credible accident, hypothetical accidents, and off-site hazards are reviewed, and methods for the prevention and containment of these accidents are discussed.
