EXPERIMENTS WITH A HIGH-SPEED FUEL DENSITY SEED-BLANKET CRITICAL ASSEMBLY
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4122959
The design of long-lifetime seed-blanket cores creates a need for calculational-experimental physics comparisons on critical assemblies having a high seed-fuel density. Since experimental data are not available at high fuel densities, an experimental program is initiated to obtain parameters in a core having fuel densities varying from 282 to 449 g U-235/liter in the seed-fuel region. The comparison of experimental and calculational results show that a nuclear-design-type calculation predicts with comparable accuracy criticality, seed power peaking factors, and boron capture fractions at the given seed fuel densities.
