With regard to inherent safety, the EBWR has a much stronger metal temperature coefficient, but a considerably weaker steam formation shutdown mechanism, than the Borax reactors. Estimates were made of the amount of reactivity which can be controlled by steam formation in the EBWR. The maximum heat flux in EBWR is believed to be below the burnout point by at least a factor of 4 to 5, based on laboratory tests with electrically heated plates. The EBWR is surrounded by a gas-tight steel building having a volume of about 400,000 ft/sup 3/ and designed to withstand an internal pressure of 15 psig. A 15,000-gal reservoir of water is suspended from the dome of the building for emergency cooling. The gas-tight building could easily withstand the internal pressure resulting from blow-down of the pressurized water in the reactor. The major design and operating features of the EBWR facility are summarized.Mode of access: Internet.digitized2014University of North Texascommitted to preservepdaTXdn.010Pressure.fast(OCoLC)fst01075931Nuclear reactorsSafety measures.fast(OCoLC)fst01040845Nuclear reactorsResearch.fast(OCoLC)fst01040842Nuclear reactorsControl.fast(OCoLC)fst01040759HeatTransmission.fast(OCoLC)fst00953826Boron.fast(OCoLC)fst00836703Boiling water reactors.fast(OCoLC)fst00835618Boron.Pressure.HeatTransmission.Nuclear reactorsSafety measures.Nuclear reactorsControl.Nuclear reactorsResearch.Boiling water reactors.Argonne National Laboratory.Electronic version :Hazard summary report on the experimental boiling water reactor (EBWR).Lemont, Ill. : Argonne National Laboratory, [1958?](OCoLC)65284236710245690420170407064646.020180827000000.020180905090618.02024-05-13T18:32:26ZSDR-UMNEX LIBRIS - ALMAprepare.pl-004-007BKsdr-umn9973951861601701umnSDRUMNumn.31951d03801473zUMN9973951861601701UMNUMN20240513googleumn.31951d03801473z1958pdbibUS fed doc
