Smaardyk, A. ed.

The over-all design of the Argonne Low Power Reactor is presented. Detailed design data are given as well as information concerning the hydrology, seismology, and meteorology of the building site (NRTS). In addition, a description of the reactor instrumentation and control, mechanical design, heat transfer, and related physics are presented. A full description of the power plant, including the steam and electrical systems, is also given, as well as the operating procedure for both normal and emergency conditions. Over-all reac tor safety is evaluated. Diagrams and graphs are included. (J.R.D.)
