Description/Abstract:
DISCUSSES (1) IMPORTANCE OF GRAPHITE OPERATING TEMEPRATURE (2) PAST AND PRESENT INSTRUMENTATION (3) TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT WITH PRESENT INSTRUMENTATION (4) TEMPERATAURE DISTRIBUTION IN THE PILES (B, D, F, DR, H, C, KE, KW) (5) EFFECTIVENESS OF OVERBORING FOR TEMPERATURE CONTROL. PRESENTS PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING THE MAXIMUM GRAPHITE TEMPERATURE AT THE VARIOUS PILES. THERMOCOUPLE LOCATIONS ARE GIVEN FOR EACH REACTOR. LATTICE CONDUCTIVITY ZONES ARE SHOWN FOR B AND F PILES. C PILE OVERBORING PATTERN IS GIVEN. IRON-CONSTATAN, CHROMEL-ALUMEL AND PLATINUM-PLATINUM-RHODIUM THERMOCOUPLES (C AND KW PILES) ARE COMPARED.
