This document presents the experimental results obtained in the performance of LOFT test SO-08.02-ZP, Initial Criticality and Zero Power Physics Tests. Along with numerical values for measured parameters, limits of error, where possible, are included. For the purpose of generating some understanding of the chain of events from measurement preparation to performance to final results, there is described here the experimental instrumentation, data acquisition, methods of data reduction, hardware and software verification, and reactor test configurations. For the details of each measurement method, the reader is directed to a cited reference.
