A design and economic analysis is presented for a 44,000 DWT tanker utilizing a 27,300 shp direct cycle boiling water reactor propulsion system. Included are design descriptions and drawings, estimates of operating and capitol costs for the reference ship, estimates of long range potential, descriptions of required research and development programs, a preliminary safeguards analysis, an analysis of ship's motion on boiling water reactor performance, a summary reactor physics analysis, and a discussion of direct cycle accessibility considerations. Also included are summary descriptions for various design alternatives which were considered.

This document presents the results of investigations concerned with the conceptual design of a 300 KWe "Capsule" nuclear power plant.

BOUNCE III is a program which was written for the IBM-704 as part of a study of the parameters of the neutron distribution in a large thermal column. The program calculates the eigenvalues and corresponding eigenvectors of the matrix resulting from a diffusion-theory, multigroup description of the thermal neutron spectrum.
