Description

It is recommended that the ``square pile`` concept be adopted for all disaster total control calculations, and that the basic reactor constants listed in HW-62884, except for Ball 3X local strength at the DR Reactor, be used in applying this method. Curves are included for each reactor type, indicating allowable enrichment based on appropriate local control strengths. (The reactors whose operating methods are affected by disaster total control requirements are B, D, F, and DR Reactors; the remaining piles have sufficient geometrical coverage). An example of the analytical method is included.
