OSTI ID:4269753
Critical radii and the masses of U/sup 235/ were calculated on the basis of two-group theory for a bare reactor (20% enriched UO/sub 2/ suspension in light water) at 20 C, and for the same reactor with natural UO/sub 2/-light water reflector at 100 and 200 C. At 200 C there is still enough excess reactivity in the reflected reactor as compared with the bare reactor at 20 C, having the same mass of U/sup 235/ or the same core diameter, so that the control irom the start at room temperature till the power operation at 200 C can be achieved by changing the reflector level only.
