Conference ·
OSTI ID:4394071
The design characteristics are presented for TRIGA-FLIP cores in two different geometries: the normal TRIGA single-rod geometry; and the four-rod cluster geometry. The fuel is 8.5 wt% uranium, 70% enriched /sup 235/U. The hydrogen-to-zirconium atom ratio is 1.5 to 1.65 and the cladding material is stainless steel. The basic neutronic characteristics of the fuel in both reactor installations are described. (auth)
