  This work reviewed the historical literature associated with the Dragon
experiment and Water Boiler reactors operated at Los Alamos during the
Manhattan Project. Frisch's invited talk given at the Fast Burst Reactor
Conference held the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque, NM in 1969 is
quoted. From the literature review, basic models for the Dragon experiment and
for a Water Boiler type assembly (aqueous homogeneous reactor) were created
that can be used for conducting multi-physics simulations for criticality
excursion studies. This methodology utilizes the coupled neutronic-hydrodynamic
method to perform a time-dependent dynamic simulation of a criticality
excursion. MCNP was utilized to calculate important nuclear kinetic parameters
that were incorporated into the models. Simulation results compared reasonably
well with historic data.
