Super Core Assemblies

The report describes the traits that are shared by all assemblies, such as hexagonal section, salt feeding, and spontaneous hooping of the core. The main conditions and operating limits of fissile subassemblies are discussed (linear power, cladding tube temperature and burn-up). The key sub-assemblies are then described in depth (fissile fuel sub-assembly, blanket fuel sub-assembly, control rod sub-assembly and complementary shut down sub-assembly). Finally, the second portion of the report describes the experimental equipment built for core measurements during the SUPER-PHENIX startup.
