EBR-I, MARK III-DESIGN REPORT
Under severe operating conditions, the Experimental Breeder Reactor was observed to exhibit oscillatory power characteristics and periods of prompt positive reactivity. Investigations of these characteristics resulted in the meltdown of Core-II and the design of a more suitable Core-III, with rod bowing eliminated and greater coolant flow control. The design of the core. rods, assemblies. and matrices is presented, and its control and cooling systems are described. (D.E B.)
