NUCLEAR CALCULATIONS FOR XYLENE MODERATED OMRE CORE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4214220
It is proposed that the OMRE first loading core be rinsed with xylene. The change in multiplication and rod wonth under this condition was calculated. An estimnte was made of the number of fuel elements to be withdrawn from the core for a safe assembly. The multiplication of the OMRE first loading core immersed in p-xylene was computed to be k/sub eff/ 1.09. The computationnl method gives k/ sub eff/ - 1-05 for OM-terphenyl. Therefore, the grain in multiplication is 0.16 to k= 0.15. (W.L.H.)
