Simplified estimation methods and slow transient data of TRACY experiment are compared for the purpose of developing the method to estimate the first peak power in a criticality accident with a continuous reactivity insertion such as flowing of nuclear fuel solution into a vessel. It is shown that the estimated values are in the range between twice and a half of the experimental data.
