Abstract :
A brief description of the EBR-II reactor and its supporting digital computer (which was designed to be transparent to the operator or experimenter) are discussed. Details of the system hardware and software are noted which allow the system to function as an operational and experimental support tool. Two types of experiments are discussed which demonstrate use of operational data for experimental support and the use of the computer in a dedicated experiment.
