  • Abstract
    Reactor power excursions involving stable periods ranging from a few seconds to 2 ms (milliseconds) have been experimentally investigated in the course of the Kinetic Experiments on Water Boilers (KEWB) program conducted by Atomics International for the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. Reactivity introduction, power and temperature measurement, and data analysis have imposed some unique requirements in instrumentation and special apparatus.
