Book excerpt: REPP, a digital computer method for designing pressure water and boiling water reactor cores within specified heat transfer and fuel centerline temperature limits is presented. The method incorporates the Westinghouse W-2 and W-3 empirical correlations and a theoretical hot channel model to predict burnout conditions in a rod bundle. Two geometries are considered; rods in a triangular array and rods in a square lattice. The heat transfer problem solved is a one-dimensional analysis. Pressure drop is considered for four types of fuel-pin spacers. Variable heat generation rate through the fuel-pin and sintering in low density fuels are also included.
