Pulsed irradiation of enriched UO$sub 2$ in the annular core pulse reactor (ACPR)

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4326764

From Triga owner's conference; Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA (25 Feb 1974). A series of experiments has been conducted in the Annular Core Pulse Reactor (ACPR) to determine the fission energy deposition and behavior of enriched UO/sub 2/ under pulse conditions. In the experiments single unirradiated pellets with enrichments up to 25 percent were pulse heated to melt temperatures. Temperature and fission product inventory measurements were made and compared with neutron transport calculations. (auth)
