Abstract
THE GREAT EXPANSION in the nuclear reactor field places increased emphasis on the problem of reactor control. The complexity of a nuclear reactor installation suggests the use of digital computation in the over-all power-plant control system. The chief advantages to be gained from the use of a digital system would be a sizable increase in the flexibility of the programing of the control system and an increase in the accuracy of the computations.
