The Special Power Excursion Reactor Test II (Spert II) reactor is a pressurized-water research reactor for conducting reactor kinetic behavior and safety investigations. The facility incorporates sufficient flexibility to permit studies on a variety of cores using a variety of reflectors, especially heavy water. It is designed for operations up to pressures of 375 psig and temperatures of 400 deg F with flow rates up to 20,000 gpm. The engineering features of the reactor and supporting process equipment are described. (auth).
