A STUDY OF WET STEAM AS A REACTOR COOLANT. Quarterly Technical Progress Report No. 1, October 1, 1959 through December 31, 1959

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4818812
Reactor conceptual designs of fog-cooled, watermoderated reactors are presented. The effects of variables such as burnout, pressure, mass velocity, and steam quality are discussed; they serve as a basis for guiding a series of heat transfer and fluid dynamics tests. The results of a brief study of the phenomenon of burnout as it applies to wet steam as a reactor coolant are presented. A reactivity formulation for use in this project is also presented. (auth)
