BURNOUT DISTRIBUTION IN SM-1 (APPR-1) CONTROL ROD ELEMENTS, FIXED ELEMENT NO. 57 AND ABSORBER SECTIONS AT 10.5 MWYRS

An analytical prediction of the burnout distributions in particular SM-1 fuel elements and absorber sections after 10.5 MWYR of core energy release is given. The distributions are based on the results of a one-shot, non-uniform burnout calculation, and are pre sented for both fuel and boron -10 depletion. Particular emphasis is placed on those elements removed from the SM-1 core in March 1959, since their subsequent burnup analysis by ORNL should provide a valuable check on the analytical models employed.
