S>These programs are intended to:ssist in establishing reflector cooling requirements, as well as thermal stresses in the reflectors and pressure vessel. The main program (304-Rec I) establishes required velocities between reflectors as a function of geometry, heat generation rates, material and fluid properties, and allowable surface temperature. This is done by iterating on velocities for successive water gaps. When required velocities have been established, corresponding thermal stresses are calculated. Rec II (301) and Prev I (301A) are supplement programs. Rec II is utilized for establishing surface temperatures of a reflector as a function of velocities, geometry, heat generation rates, and matenial and fluid properties. It handles only one reflector per case. This program also calculates thermal stresses in the reflector. Prev I is intended for calculations concerning a pressure vessel, perfectly insulated at the outer surface. It calculates surface temperature and thermal stresses in the vessel as a function of velocity, geometry, heat generation rates, and matenial and fluid properties. All calculations are performed at the midplane, where maximum heat generation rates occur. (auth
