NON-ASYMPTOTIC LATTICE PARAMETERS IN A DRY UO$sub 2$ BLANKET-MEASUREMENTS AND CALCULATIONS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4114965
The ratios of epicadmium to subcadmium capture in U/sup 238/, of U/sup 238/ capture to U/sup 235/ fission, of U/sup 238/ fission t o U/sup 235/ fission, and of epicadmium to subcadmium fission in U/sup 235/ were measured in a UO/sub 2/ blanket in a UO/sub 2/- Zr--H/sub 2/O seed blanket-seed slab core with a water to nonwater volume ratio of 0.142. The results were compared with calculations by a design model using a one-dimensional few group diffusion program and with calculations by a one-dimensional, multigroup P-3 transport code. (D.C.W
