The following report analyzes and calculates the accuracy of a procedure that processes independent source neutron cards in the Monte Carlo method.

This report follows a study that was undertaken to evaluate the practicality if removing the heat from the reactor cooling water by means of a "flash cooler" and to compare its economics with that of the conventional heat exchange system.

"Formulas are given to express the general particle trajectory and the equilibrium orbit for a slightly disturbed synchrotron in terms of the amplitude and phase functions for the ideal machine. If these functions are known, orbit computations can be carried out by simple integration procedures. The formalism is expected to be useful especially for considerations such as beam alignment or generation of an external electron beam. Some equations given earlier are repeated for completeness."
