DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4826907· OSTI ID:4826907
The Special Power Excursion Reactor Test III (Spert III) reactor is a pressurized-water nuclear-research reactor which was constructed to provide a facility for conducting reactor kinetic behavior and safety investigations. The investigations are designed to provide information for the advancement of pressurized-water and boiling-water reactor technology and safety. The facility was designed for operations up to pressures of 2500 psig and temperatures of 670 deg F and incorporates essential features typical of pressurized-water and boiling-water reactors. The engineering features of the reactor and supporting process equipment as constructed at the National Reactor Testing Station are described. (auth)
