High-temperature critical experiments with H$sub 2$O-moderated fuel assemblies in KRITZ

Book ·
OSTI ID:4332406
From international nuclear industries fair; Basel, Switzerland (16 Oct 1972). The pressurized critical facility KRITZ is operated up to a maximum temperature of 245 deg C. Buckling measurements on single-rod lattices of slightly enriched UO/sub 2/ (1.35 wt% /sup 235/UO/sub 2/) are reported. Two lattices with different moderator-to-fuel volume ratios (1.44 and 2.11) were studied. Experiments on Pu-bearing fuel (1.5% Pu, 0.16%/sup 235/U) are in progress. (auth)
