CRITICAL MASSES AND LATTICE PARAMETERS OF H$sub 2$O-UO$sub 2$ CRITICAL EXPERIMENTS. A COMPARISON OF THEORY AND EXPERIMENT

OSTI ID:4151504
burgh. A semi-empirical method of performing lattice calculations in UO/ sub 2/-H/sub 2/O cores is described which was used in the design of Yankee core 1. Calculated results using this method give close agreement with experimental results from the Bettis TRX facilities, from the Yankee and BR-3 critical experiments, and from a critical experiment performed for the NSS Savannah. Although the semi-empirical method gives adequate agreement, another system of calculation is presented which uses the MUFT code and has a somewhat firmer theoretical justification. It should prove valuable in the design of future cores. (auth)
