Nuclear Merchant Ship Reactor Project: Extended Zero Power Tests NS Savannah Core I (Final Report)
- Babcock and Wilcox Co., Lynchburg, VA (United States)
Experiments were performed on the NS Savannah Service Core I to supply information on future shipboard operation of the Nuclear Merchant Ship Reactor. Testing of instrumentation equipment was satisfactory. Correction factors for shipboard use were determined. Fast neutron flux, neutron flux distribution, and stuck control rod studies were carried out successfully, as was a three-dimensional calculation (TKO) to match two critical rod patterns.
