DISTRIBUTED REACTIVITY COEFFICIENTS IN A PMA SLAB CORE. MEASUREMENT AND ANALYSIS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4179781
Measurements of the core distributed reactivity coefficients of moderator and structural materials that were made in a polyethylene moderated and reflected slab reactor (PMA-6) are described. In addition, the experiments are analyzed with the use of various cross section routines currently employed in nuclear design studies at this laboratory. The adequacy with which the WOX-type and 3Group MUFT-SOFOCATE cross-section codes predict the experimental readivity coefficient data is demonstrated. (auth)
