acceptable as long as this is clearly defined. Discussions should include
experimental compatibility with normal reactor operations and show how
interference with safe reactor shutdown and adequate fuel cooling is avoided.
Areas of review should include the following:
* general focus of the experimental program (radiation science, medical,
materials testing, teaching, etc.)
* experimental facilities
* basic type of experiments that will be irradiated (incore, thermal cohlmn,
external beam, etc)
* limiting experimental characteristics (e.g., reactivity, contents)
* monitoring and control of the experiments and the interaction between the
experiment and the reactor control and safety systems
* design requirements for the experiment and the review and approval
process - -
The applicant should include a discussion and analysis of all proposed experimental
facilities. Typical experimental facilities'are described briefly in the format and
content guide.
The applicant may use simple block diagrams and drawings to show the location.
.basic function, and relationship of each experimental facility to the remainder of
the reactor. The summary description should give the reviewer enough
information to gain an overall understanding of the functions of the experimental
facilities and the experiment review and approval process.
