Title: FFTF (Fast Flux Test Facility) Reactor Characterization Program: Absolute Fission-rate Measurements

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/708941· OSTI ID:708941

Absolute fission rate measurements using modified National Bureau of Standards fission chambers were performed in the Fast Flux Test Facility at two core locations for isotopic deposits of {sup 232}Th, {sup 233}U, {sup 235}U, {sup 238}U, {sup 237}Np, {sup 239}Pu, {sup 240}Pu, and {sup 241}Pu. Monitor chamber results at a third location were analyzed to support other experiments involving passive dosimeter fission rate determinations.
