CRITICAL ASSEMBLIES OF URANIUM METAL

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4246875· OSTI ID:4246875
;
Data on critical assemblies of fissionable uranium metals are summarized. Empirical studies are made for spccific reflectors and gcometrics to determine the fcasibility of extrapolating these data for conditions concerning nuclcear safcty problems. Also included are the influencs on critical systems by various reficctors, U-235 isotopic enrichment, density, and small metal pieces homogcncously distributed in water. (auth)
