A Two-Zone Fast Critical Experiments (ZPR-III Assembly 42)
- Argonne National Lab., Idaho Falls, ID (United States)
This study was conducted to determine what proper ties of a previously studied dilute power reactor could be duplicated in a smaller two-zone assembly. Reactivity measurements performed included determinations of plate orientation worth, homogeneity corrections, reactor-segment worths, central reactivity coefficients, and radial worth distributions of axial columns of core materials. Spectral index determinations included: central fission ratios, nuclear track emulsion measurements, fission counter traverses, Rossi-alpha measurements, sodium activation, and natural and enriched uranium foil measurements.
