A test was performed at the Shippingport PWR, whose purpose was to determine the amount of heat the fuel shipping container cooling system was capable of removing while in a state of equilibrium. Studies were also conducted to determine if after four hours of operation, the increase of the internal wall temperature was less than 30 deg F, and finally, to determine the effects of loss of cooling water from the fuel shipping container.

A program was written to perform polynomial least squares fits on the IBM 7090 computer. Weighting factors may be included with the data if desired. The program includes a subroutine which does the fit and furnishes the calling program with the coefficients, standard errors in the coefficients, staandard error of fit, and information necessary to compute a complete error analysis; and a calling program which reads input, calls the subroutine, and writes requested output. The subroutine may be used separately in any Fortran or FAP program where a least squares fit is needed. (auth)

The radiation survey of the Blanket Exit Water Instrumentation assemblies Core I, Seed 1 was performed on January 15 and 16, 1960, approximately 100 days after reactor shutdown at 5806 EFPH. The observed radiation levels varied with height from 150 to 500 mr/hr; the highest activity was found at the bottom of both support tubes of each of the four assemblies monitored, which, in operation, would be located 5 in. above the top of the blanket fuel assembly. The two inner port Blanket Exit Water Instrumentation units and the two Auxiliary Seed Exit Water Instrumentation assemblies were not monitored. (D.L.C.)
