ISOTHERMAL TEMPERATURE COEFFICIENT OF THE PIQUA OMR CRITICAL ASSEMBLY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4085291
The isothemnal temperature coefficient of a 8-in. triangular lattice of cylindrical fuel elements over the temperature range of the OMR Critical Facility was measured. The results are shown with theoretical calculations for comparison. Two calculations of the temperature coefficient of a piqua-type core were made. Both are in disagreement with experimental values over most of the temperature range of the measurement. (W.L.H.)
