SELF-REGULATION STUDY PROGRAM FOR THE CONSOLIDATED NUCLEAR STEAM GENERATOR

A self-regulation study program for the consolidated nuclear steam generator (CNSG) of the N.S. Savannah is reported. Proposals are made to 1) study the nuclear, thermal, and operational problems associated with self-regulation, 2) produce a conceptual design of a self-regulating CNSG, 3) demonstrate analytically the feasibility of the concept, 4) prepare a cursory cost analysis and evaluate the concept's economic potential, and 5) prepare a program to develop the self-regulation concept. Program analysis, organization, and scheduling are outlined.
