OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF A URANIUM GRAPHITE SUBCRITICAL ASSEMBLY (thesis)

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4219802
The operating characteristics of the subcritical assembly were determined using both small and large neutron sources. An 8.5 in. lattice resulted in higher flux levels and the largest value of the critical buckling. All experimental buckling determinations proved to be positive. There was no apparent flux depression due to indium foil loading. Horizontal flux distributions were symmetrical in both the x and y directions. (W.D.M.)
