Title: PRELIMINARY HAZARDS EVALUATION OF THE ISOLATED COOLANT LOOPS IN THE HWCTR

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4122086· OSTI ID:4122086

The design features of two isolated coolant loops in the Heavy Water Components Test Reactor (HWCTR) and the effect of these features on reactor safety are described. It is shown that limitations on the operating conditions, backed up by properly chosen safety systems, will permit operation of the loops without adding appreciably to the reactor hazards. (auth)
