Experiments to Measure the Inversion Point of the Isothermal Reactivity Coefficient in a Water-Moderated Pin-Fueled Critical Assembly at Sandia [Slides]
- Sandia National Laboratories (SNL), Albuquerque, NM, and Livermore, CA (United States)
Two experiment series are planned to measure temperature effects in the Sandia Critical Experiments. The first series (IER-304) will measure the critical size of a fuel rod configuration at several temperatures. The second series (IER-452) will measure the inversion temperature of the isothermal reactivity coefficient in the Sandia critical assembly. Each experiment in the second series will be preceded by one or more experiments in the first series. This presentation addresses the conceptual design of the inversion temperature experiments.
