An analog simulation of the dual-purpose Hanford N-reactor was undertaken.1Studies were performed to determine the dynamic characteristics of the plant and to determine the effects of possible plant, oper ator, and control-system malfunctions. Various op erational procedures and proposed design changes were also studied.
The simulation of the reactor plant was made up of a series of subsystems which were coupled to gether. Each subsystem had been studied in detail previous to being assembled into the total reactor plant simulation.
