A brief description of the aqueous homogeneous Armour Research Reactor is given. The negative reactivity coefficient resulting from a temperature increase was determined over a fuel temperature range of 37 to 150 deg F. Possession of an accurately calibrated rod and temperature coefficient permitted a direct measurement of the void coefficient. The reactor was taken to different power levels, and from the calibrated rod the total reduction in excess reactivity was obtained. During the power increase program additional U/sup 235/ and water were added to the core to determine the worth of U/sup 235/ and water. (W.D.M.)
