The General Electric Co. boiling water reactor program to achieve competitive nuclear power in the U. S. by 1970 is described. Time-schedule relationships and characteristics of existing and projected plants are given for the three main lines of boiling reactor design: natural-circulation, forced- circulation, and nuclear superheater. The strategy, philosophy. technical objectives, and costs of Operation Sunrise are treated. Information is appended on reactor stability, safety, turbine contamination, failed fuel elements, fuel reprocessing, U. S. boiling-water technology, and cost experience. (T.R.H.)
