CRITICALITY DATA AND NUCLEAR SAFETY GUIDE APPLICABLE TO THE OAK RIDGE GASEOUS DIFFUSION PLANT
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4240334
The available minimum experimental and theoretical criticality information for U/sup 235/ enrichments of 1% to ~ 90% are presented together with the fundamental nuclear safety control criteria currently in effect at ORGDP. The fundamental nuclear safety criteria remain essentially unchanged from the previous edition of the report with the exception of the extension of nuclearly safe variables under 5% U/sup 235/ enrichment, the increase of the minimum U/sup 235/ enrichment considered to be non-reactive from 0.71% to 0.90%, and a statement of a new mass-volume principle. Other additions include guides for computing a solid angle and applying nuclearly safe variables to uranium materials, other than metal, of intermediate densities. (auth)
