THE WORTH OF SINGLE CONTROL RODS IN HYDROGENOUS REACTORS

DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4282718· OSTI ID:4282718
Reactivity measurements of the worth of single slab type control rods were made in five Flexible Plastic Reactor assemblies. An analysis of the experiments indicate that the relative worths can be described by a two group absorption srea scheme. Measurements of the dependence of control rod worth on radial position were made. A comparison of these measurements with statistical weight calculations shows good agreement. (W.D.M.)
