Title: PHYSICS PERFORMANCE OF THE EBWE IN ITS ZERO TO 100 Mw OPERATION
Abstract: The distribution of fuel elements in the EBWR core is described. Spike elements with boron steel strips were provided in the core for burnup allowance. A calibration of the control rod system with Zircaloy followers was made. Void coefficient measurements were made for two different H/sub 3/BO/sub 3/ concentrations. Power runs were made, and reactivity loss vs. power characteristic was obtained. Steam remaining in the core, or carryunder,'' was indicated. Some of the spikes were removed for increasing the power to 80 Mw. Calculations were made of the reactivity loss with coolant void and of the average void vs. reactor power. (D. L.C.)
