Abstract

In this article a description is given of experiments on the study of physical characteristics of the reactor of the atomic electric power station of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. The data obtained may be utilized both in connection with the starting up and operation of other similar reactors, and also in the further improvement of the methods of engineering design calculations for the heterogeneous energy producing water-cooled reactors operating on thermal neutrons.
