Power Flattening in Sodium Graphite Reactors by Spatial Variation of Moderator Properties

Abstract: In the present study, the variation of moderator composition was postulated to be effected by the inclusion of varying amounts of beryllium oxide in the graphite of an SGR.

Hazards Analysis of the Organic Moderated Reactor Experiment

Introduction: The description of the Organic Moderated Reactor Experiment, (OMRE), its location, its safety system, and operative procedures have been previously detailed. The present report, although dealing with the subject of OMRE safety, has the more detailed intent of (1) determining the behavior of the OMRE under extremely unlikely sets of conditions; and (2) providing additional design information in the areas of reactivity coefficients, burnout heat flux, and reactor control.
