PRELIMINARY POWER CALIBRATION OF THE OMR CRITICAL ASSEMBLY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4215560
The nuclear instrumentation of the OMR Critical Assembly was calibrated in terms of watts of thermal power. Calibration was necessary for comparison of radiation shielding calculations and to permit estimation of the flux for various experiments. Aluminum and cadmium covered gold foils were irradiated near the core to obtain the thermal flux. From this and several liux-averaging factors, power was calculated for instrument readings. (W. D.
