EFFECT OF PRESSURE, TEMPERATURE AND POISON ON THE REACTIVITY OF THE HARWELL PILE
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4331220
The loss in k during operation of a pile due to rise in temperature and accumulation of neutron absorbing fission products is known to be quite large and an attempt has been made to analyse the measured losses on the Harwell Pile in terms of temperature coefficients and "poisoning" by Xe/sup 135/. The variation of the latter with time has been computed by the Theoretical Division on the assumption that all the Xe/sup 135/ is produced from the Te/sup 135/ chain of fission products. (auth)
