Q Preface
As a result of the preliminary BONUS design study (subcontract NP-I under contract AT-(40-1)-
2484), it was found necessary to perform critical experiments to fully evaluate the physics problems in-
troduced by nuclear superheat. These experiments are being performed by Combustion Engineering, Inc.
+ under contract AT-(I I)-795. A major goal of the critical experimental program is the development of
analytical methods that can predict the results of the critical experiments as well as yield reliable answers
to the complex problems usually encountered in the physics core design of a power reactor.
In order to properly plan these experiments, it was first necessary to evaluate the accuracy of the
analytical methods used at GNEC by comparing the theoretical analysis with presently available critical
experimental information utilizing low-enrichment oxide fuel. This report summarizes both the analytical
methods and the comparison. As a consequence of these results, critical experiments have been planned
which will yield information that will further test and expand the analytical methods and, in addition. can
be used directly in physics core design.
