A DISCUSSION OF THE CORRELATION OF CRITICAL CONDITIONS FOR BARE HOMOGENEOUS REACTORS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4028113
An investigation was conducted to determine whether simple parameters could be found which could correlate the critical conditions for bare homogeneous reactors. In connection with this, a study was made of the results of an 18- group analysis which covered a group of reactors using Be, BeO, C, D/sub 2/O, Li/ sup 7/H, and H/sub 2/O as moderators, over a wide range of moderator-to-uranium (U-235) mole ratios. The correlation was applied to the results of several criticality experiments. (B.O.G.)
