A second set of experiments in the Seven Percent Critical Experiment (7uPCX) has been completed. Additionally, an evaluation of the experiments as criticality safety benchmark experiments has been performed. The Reviews of the benchmark evaluation have been completed. This evaluation will be published in the 2013 edition of the International Handbook of Evaluated Criticality Benchmark Experiments as LEU-COMP-THERM-078 (LCT078). This presentation is a brief tour of these experiments.
