Abstract :
The united States Government exhibit for the 1958 Geneva Conference included a simulation of the main portion of the entire Experimental Boiling Water Reactor (EBWR) plant. The total simulation consisted of two operating panels similar to the EBWR control panels and an animated model of the plant. This discussion is limited to the computer technique utilized to accomplish a linear simulation of the neutron kinetics of the reactor over a full operating range of 8 decades.
