The SE hot organic loop soon will be used for measurements of the temperature coefficient of reactivity in D₂O moderated - organic cooled lattices with simulated burned-up UO₂ fuel. As a preliminary to the tests with simulated burned-up fuel (just returned to Savannah River from Chalk River), the neutron temperature was measured at various positions in a lattice cell containing HWOCR UC rod clusters and "Dowtherm" A coolant. One of the programs which was to be undertaken during this fiscal year was the major part of the development of a version of the HAMMER system which would treat fuel assemblies consisting of clusters of fuel rods. The Swedish single energy rod cluster code CLUCOP has been mentioned in the past as being the most likely starting point for this work. DPST-67-83-9 indicated good agreement between CLUCOP and experiments in a number of cases.
