The KEWB Facility is described, and an over-all technical evaluation is made of the hazards associated with changing from a spherical to a cylindrical core. The characteristics of the two systems, the operation and emergency procedures, a brief history of the program, a summary of the data obtained, and maximum accident analyses are given. The conclusion is that the core change does not represent an adverse change with respect to associated hazards. (T.R.H.)
