CANDU-BLW EXPERIMENTS IN ZED-2. PART I. REFUELLING EXPERIMENT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4358995
Experiments have been performed in a simulated CANDU-BLW lattice in ZED-2 to determine the reactivity effect and the perturbing effect on the surrounding lattice of replacing the fuel in the central cell of the lattice by light water. This procedure simulates two stages in the refuelling sequence of the proposed CANDU-BLW reactor. The maximum neutron density perturbation observed in surrounding fuel assemblies was a depression ~ 16% at the assemblies immediately adjacent to the perturbation. (auth)
