Physics effects of water mixing pieces

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10175729· OSTI ID:10175729

The effects of ``water mixing`` pieces on the axial flux distributions and reactivities of the K Reactors are discussed in this report. Two mixing piece configurations in the K piles are compared to provide a basis for determining the optimum configuration with respect to rupture control, reactivity cost and temperature cycling effects.
