NRX ROD NO. 683. ANALYSIS OF IRRADIATED URANIUM AND ESTIMATION OF EFFECTIVE CROSS-SECTIONS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4342929
The group of papers covers measurements which have been made on material from NRX rod No. 683, one of the rods originally installed in the reactor. By September 1951 it had generated slightly more than 100 MWD energy corresponding to a specific output from the central region of about 3100 MWD/Tonne. It was then removed from the reactor and held in storage as the principal item in an investigation of long irradiation. The intention was to study with material from the same specimen the various results of irradiation such as the distribution of plutonium isotopes in the rod, depletion of U-235, measurement of the changes in reactivity of material from several irradiation levels, and metallurgical effects. The present paper describes the general preparation for the work.
