Description

This document has been written in part to answer questions concerning the feasibility and advisability of ``quickie`` discharge of ruptures at C Reactor. Justification of full pile operational charge-discharge (OC-D) is based in part on outage savings resulting from improved, rupture removal. Since a portion of the rupture removals might be accomplished within the scram recovery time (quickie) it is necessary to consider recovery time as a function of anticipated future power levels. In addition to answering the questions mentioned above, it was felt worthwhile at this time to discuss equilibrium control problems associated with OC-D which have been apparent … continued below

In addition to answering the questions mentioned above, it was felt worthwhile at this time to discuss equilibrium control problems associated with OC-D which have been apparent during operation of prototype equipment, and on the basis of this information to consider reactor control with full pile OC-D.
