Measurement and Regulation of the Level of a Homogeneous Plutonium Reactor; MESURE ET REGULATION DU NIVEAU D'UN REACTEUR HOMOGENE AU PLUTONIUM
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4185704
Reactivity depends strongly on disturbances of the level of the plutonium solution in the homogeneous reactor. Proserpine has a small cylindrical core, 250 mm diameter, and 10 liters volume. With a view to reducing the dangers due to corrosion and contamination, the solution level in the core is raised by pneumatic pressure. The level is stabilized by means of a regulating system. During critical experiments the variations of the level are less than one hundreth part of a millimeter. (auth)
