A LOW COST PHYSICS AND ENGINEERING TRAINING REACTOR. Reactor Design and Feasibility Study

The conceptual design of a low cost training reactor for the instruction of physicists and engineers is covered. It is conceived as an instructional tool for a course such as that given at the Oak Ridge School of Reactor Technology. The reactor is of a modified pool type, and is designed for a maximum power level of one Mw. This arrangement will accommodate engineering experiments, shielding experiments, and critical experiments as well as being useful as a neutron and gamma source. (auth
