DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4331076· OSTI ID:4331076
Experiments were performed to determine the conditions under which aqueous solutions of U enriched to 93.2% in the U/sup 235/ isotope can be made critical. The solutions, which had H : U/sup 235/ atomic ratios varying between 27.1 to 74.6, were contained both in water-reflected and unreflected Al or stainless steel cylinders with and without Cd wrappings. The experiments varied from the use of a single vessel to interacting arrays of seven vessels. (auth)
