ETR-TYPE CORE STUDIES IN THE MTR-REACTIVITY MEASUREMENT FACILITY

Technical Report · Fri May 18 00:00:00 EDT 1956

Fast, E; Burdick, E E

Studies on various ETR-type cores in the RMF were requested by O. E. for the purpose of checking their Univac calculations for the Engineering Test Reactor presently under construction at the MTR site in Idaho. Tests in the BMF included critical mass determinations on several type cores, flux distribution in the lattice and in a grey rod consisting of half poison --half fuel, and temperature coefficient measurements. This report presents data obtained in these tests, with discussions on the experimental procedure and probable errors involved. (auth)
