Description/Abstract:
SUMMARIZES PRESENT KNOWLEDGE OF THE TEMPERATURE COEFF OF REACTIVITY FOR GRAPHITE MODERATED THERMAL REACTORS. INCLUDES RESULTS OF TESTS ON GREEN AND IRRADIATED LOADINGS, WET AND DRY, AT BOTH HANFORD AND BNL. REVIEWS THEORETICAL PREDICTIONS FOR A DRY PILE AND FOR A WET LOADING. REVIEWS EFFECTS OF VARYING TEMPERATURE COEFFS UPON THE REQUIREMENTS FOR SPEED OF CONTROL AND TOTAL CONTROL STRENGTH BY CONSIDERING REACTOR BEHAVIOR FOLLOWING LOSS OF COOLANT.
