Work directed toward practical use of heterogeneous reactor physics calculations is reported. Thermal utilization and resonance escape probability are calculated for infinite multi-component complex lattices. These calculations permit straightforward and simple analysis of certain reactor cores with multi- component lattices. A description of an IBM-704 code, which will do realistic heterogeneous calculations, and several methods for calculating the fuel element thermal absorption parameters are given. The calculation of more precise rod-to- rod kernels using transport theory is developed. (For preceding period see NY0- 2673.)
