message: Is the highest temperature of the reactor core the boiling point of water at the pressure the reactor is operated at, which means a maximum core temperature of 100 degrees Celsius at atmospheric pressures? If so, does that not reduce the efficiency of the generator by limiting the maximum temperature of the reactor?
:some things to consider: It was not operated at atmospheric pressure; the boiling point would be elevated by the presence of the uranium salts; in any case the reactor was used as a neutron source, not a steam generator 70.51.184.193 23:50, 29 December 2005 (UTC)
thread_title:  Boiling Point of Water 

message: "At Santa Susana, California, where a series of tests titled: The Kinetic Energy Experiments were performed in the late 1940's, control rods were loaded on springs and then flung out of the reactor in milliseconds. Energy output shot up from ~100 watts to over ~1,000,000 watts with no problems observed."
: Presumably the MW output was momentary? Is there a reference to these experiments? How does the selfmoderating work?GangofOne 11:41, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: But that must be hot enough to boil as well; or is it high pressure? Don't the H and O immediately recombine? GangofOne 11:41, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The hydrogen and/or deuterium would only recombine immediately with oxygen if they met up during the very short interval while at least the oxygen was still in the form of highly reactive singleton atoms (see Nascent state (chemistry)). Judging by the experience of heavy water moderated CANDU reactors, enough is left over to form significant bubbling of gas that has to be dealt with separately, which CANDU reactors do by removing the gasses from the reactor and passing them over a platinum catalyst to recombine them (I'd guess that light water reactors just replace the water as it is cheaper).
