EXPERIENCE WITH THE USE OF THE ROD-DROP METHOD OF ROD CALIBRATION AT THE ORR AND LITR
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4674067
The rod-drop method was examined as a means of determining the shutdown worth of the LITR and ORR shim rods. The results obtained for the LITR are in close agreement with integral rod worths obtained previously by period methods. A procedure for calibration of rods that is applicable to both the LITR and ORR is given, and tables to permit rapid calculation of the shutdown DELTA k are presented. The method gives results reproducible to within 12% in comparing rod worths over a series of tests. (auth)
