GRAPHITE MODERATED THERMAL REACTOR CALCULATIONS FOR THE CALDER HALL REACTORS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4262968
The methods of calculation on which the Calder work was based together with their correlation with integral experiments are presented. The calculations are compared with the results of the commissioning experi-ments and explanations are suggested for the discrepancies. Attention is drawn to the difficulties of extending the system of calculation to reactor fuels containing plutonium and a provisional method for this is described. A new proposal for a system of lattice calculations requiring a new correlation with integral experiments is outlined. (auth)
