COMPARISON OF THE WIGNER WILKINS THERMAL SPECTRA WITH THE MEASURED SPECTRA IN HOT AND COLD WATER AND HOT AND COLD FUEL-METAL-WATER MATRICES

OSTI ID:4346408
Recently, Slovacek and Stone measured the thermal neutron spectra emanating from cold and hot (585.8 deg K) water and from a fuel-zirconium-water matrix of 1:1 metalwater ratio, a fuel loading of 0.0925 g/cc with cold and hot (585.8 deg K) water as moderator. Using a digital machine coding of the Wigner- Wiikins equation, thermal spectra for these regions were calculated. Good agreement was found for the fuel matrix cases and it was concluded that the Wigner-Wilkins theory applies. Poor agreement was found for the water cases, but it was felt this was due to the smallness of the test region. (auth)
