Description/Abstract:
PRESENTS MATERIAL FOR UNDERSTANDING THE OPERATIONAL PHYSICS ASPECTS OF THE HANFORD NUCLEAR SAFETY PROBELM FOR THOSE CONCERNED WITH THE REACTOR SAFETY PROBLEM IN GENERAL BUT NOT IN TECHNICAL DETAIL. GIVES(1) NUCLEAR CHARACTERISTICS OF THE NORMALLY OPERATING PILE (2) COMPONENTS OF THERACTIVITY GAIN ON LOSS OF WATER (3) CLACULATED EXCURSIONS IN EVENT OF SUDDEN WATER LOSS (4) REACTIVITY STATUS OF THE SHUTDOWN PILE AS A FUNCTION OF TIME FOLLOWING WATER LOSS. MATERIAL IS REPRESENTED GRAPHICALLY WITH BRIEF STATEMENTS FOR EACH GRAPH.
