Declassified 26 Nov 1973.<>29:020294Declassified 26 Nov 1973. A nuclear heating analysis of the control rod assembly within the TORY II-C core was made to determine its power density at full power conditions. The use of hafnium as control poison and the selection of an asterisk rod geometry made a detailed study of the (n,y) heating necessary. Because of the complexity of the heating process, a gamma-ray Monte Carlo code was developed for use in this analysis. (auth)
