DANGER COEFFICIENTS FOR THE ENRICO FERMI FAST BREEDER REACTOR
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4333077
Danger coefficients are presented for eleven materials of interest in the Fermi Fsst Breeder Reactor-U/sup 235/, U/sup 238/, Pu/sup 239/, B/sup 10/, stainless steel, Na/sup 23/, C/s up 12/, Zr, Mo, and fission products. The reactor was mocked-up by one-dimensional spherical and cylindrical representations. Danger coefficients were calculated by perturbation theory, using the reactor period as the eigenvalue 0/sup --7/ sec. Calculations were also msde using reactivity as the eigenvalue. Danger coefficients calculated by the two methods agree. (A.C.)
