This presentation discusses the recent Sandia critical experiments, specifically the Seven Percent Critical Experiment (7uPCX) which is a Nuclear Energy Research Initiative (NERI) project. It also discusses why 7uPCX was used, how 7uPCX is operated and presents some 7uPCX results. The presentation concludes by discussing future plans for the critical experiments.
