Summary

Studies were made to determine revised moderator coolant flow requirements in the EGCR core for the latest design. The temperature distribution in the graphite columns was also determined. The total moderator coolant flow was calculated to be 24,024 lb/hr and 31,020 lb/hr for full power and maximum anticipated power, respectively. It was concluded that the maximum moderator temperature (1220 deg F average over the cross section), at full power operation, occurs near the peak heat flux at a location 6.25 to 7.25 ft from the bottom of the active core. The temperature in most of the graphite columns varies from 555 to 1150 deg F over the lower half of the column and 1150 to 990 deg F over the top half of the column. The maximum surface temperature is less than 1110 deg F. Temperature distributions are shown on graphs. (M.C.G.)
