EFFECT ON NEUTRON FLUX OF SOURCE GEOMETRY IN A URANIUM GRAPHITE SUBCRITICAL ASSEMBLY (thesis)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4194148
S>The problem of determining the optimum source conditions for the specific assembly at Iowa State College is treated. A variety of conditions were applled to the souce and results and comparisons are presented. Results appear to verlfy that the presence of epithermal souce neutrons in a subcritical assembly tends to lower the measured buckling whereas leakage at the base of an assembly raises buckling.
