Abstract
The subject of the low power research reactor was initially conceived as a topic for a feasibility study designed to probe the merits of having a research reactor facility at the United States Naval Post Graduate School. Survey of available information on reactors quickly led to the conclusion that time and security factors would not permit a thorough analysis of all research types available. Instead it was decided that a sound contribution could be made toward such a study by selecting the prototype of one unclassified research reactor of considerable merit, collecting and digesting the scattered information available, and analyzing it in the light of the basic considerations which must be fundamental to any feasibility study. It is believed that this project will aid anyone conducting such a study at a future date, and will serve as a reliable reference guide, should this type of reactor be selected as the desired facility.
