Title: A COMPARISON OF EXPERIMENTS AND THREE-DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES. PART I. UNPOISONED UNIFORM SLAB CORE WITH A PARTIALLY INSERTED HAFNIUM ROD

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4077284

>The experimental measurements and nuclear analysis of a uniformly loaded, unpoisoned slab core with a partially insented hafnium rod are described. Comparisons of experimental data with calculated results of the UFO code and flux synthesis techniques are given. It was concluded that one of the flux synthesis techniques and the UFO code are able to predict flux distributions to within approximately 5% of experiment for most cases. An error of approximately 10% was found in the synthesis technique for a channel near the partially inserted rod. The various calculations were able to predict neutron pulsed shutdowns to only approximately 30%. (auth)
