OSTI ID:4244204
For the study of power reactors moderated with heavy water, a pressurized subcritical experimental facility, the PSE, was instulled at Savananah River, which makes it possible to obtain nuclear measurements in D/sub 2/O- or H/sub 2/O-moderated lattices at temperatures up to 2l5 deg C. The experimental lattices are supplied with neutrons from five retractable Sb-Be sources. The physical arrangement of the facility is described and some initial experiments are summarized. (W.D.M.)
