  • Abstract
    This paper presents an overall picture of the Kiwi-A reactor control systems. The techniques of analysis and design of the control systems, the reactor power and propellant flow rate control hardware, the control system performance during tests, and special measurements made on the control systems to check analytical predictions are discussed. Problems presented by future reactors and some new control systems for these reactors are described.
