METHOD OF AVERAGING THERMAL CROSS SECTIONS IN LIGHT WATER REACTORS
Technical Report

OSTI ID:4355685
A method of thermal neutron spectrum hardening which is based on a Wigner-Wilkins spectrum for a hydrogen gas is outlined. By use of this hardening scheme, the method of averaging thermal absorption and transport cross sections is shown. It was also found that the transport cross section of hydrogen in water has a l/v dependence and a cross section of 37.14 barns at a velocity of 2200 meters/ sec. (auth)
