THE STARTUP EXPERIMENT PROGRAM FOR THE YANKEE REACTOR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4797389
A series of experiments was performed with the Yankee Reactor Plant to determine the characteristics of the reactor and primary system following initial criticality. These included reactor physics experiments, control rod drive tests, and primary system transient response studies. The experiments are described and the results are evaluated from the standpoint of previous analysis. Agreement with calculations was found to be very good. (auth)
