THE CHANGE IN REACTIVITY OF A PILE DURING OPERATION
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4305073
A formula is developed for the change in reactivity of a pile during operation due to changes in the composition of the fissile and fertile material, namely, destruction of U/sup 235/ and U/sup 238/ and buildup of Np/sup 239/ and Pu /sup 239/. T he results are applied to a typical natural uranium pile and to enriched reactors. (auth)
