[Discussion by R. M. Evans at a meeting held with the members of the Military Liaison Committee on February 17, 1954]
Characteristics of the heavy water moderated and cooled reactor when fueled with natural uranium were compared with those of Hanford. The following topics were covered: (1) fundamental safety of the Savannah River Plant reactor and its fundamental efficiency as neutron collector; (2) many critical volumes result in a complex control system and high sensitivity of flux pattern to rod position changes; (3) due to lack of time had to sue slugs initially; (4) had to use D{sub 2}O sparingly; (5) effects of circulating cooling system; and (6) heat transfer considerations. Topics also discussed were Savannah River reactor with enriched loadings and irradiation of thorium in lieu of lithium alloy.
