Development and use of a data file for frequently changing heterogeneous reactor configurations
From national topical meeting on mathematical models and computational techniques for analysis of nuclear systems; Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA (8 Apr 1973). In mathematical models and computational techniques for analysis of nuclear systems. EBR-II (Experimental Breeder Reactor No. 2) was originally designed and operated to provide a small plant demonstration of a sodium-cooled fast breeder reactor. Following the suceessful demonstration of the reactor, the need for an adequate fast reactor irradiation test and examination facility led to its operation for the testing of fast reactor fuel, structural, and poison materials. It is important to have reliable data on the compositional environment of the reactor to facilitate the management of the fuel and the experimental subassemblies. These data can best be obtained by calculating the actual loadlngs from the beginning of the reactor lifetime and the changes in atom densities. It is also desirable that data be available corresponding to any reactor run made in the past. 5 references. (auth)
