This report contains the thermal (2200 m/s) and fast (E>1MeV) neutron fluence rate data for ATR Cycle 169A which were measured by the Radiation Measurements Laboratory (RML) as requested by the Power Reactor Programs (ATR Experiments) Radiation Measurements Work Order. This report contains fluence rate values corresponding to the particular elevations (relative to the 80-ft. core elevation) where the measurements were taken. The data in this report consists of ( 1) a table of the ATR power history and distribution, (2) a hard copy listing of all thermal and fast neutron fluence rates, (3) plots of both the thermal and fast neutron fluence rates, and (4) an optical record (compact disk) containing a listing of the thermal and the fast neutron fluence rates, their assigned elevations and proper header identification of all monitor positions contained herein. The fluence rates reported are for the average power levels given in the table of power history and distribution. No neutron monitors were located in the N-2 position during this cycle. All "SR" holder monitor wires for this cycle are 55 inches long. This length allows measurements from 24.73 inches above core midplane to 25.25 inches below core midplane. The distance from the end of the wires to the first count position was 4.25 inches for all wires counted from this cycle.
