An experimental test of several equivalence relations for effective resonance integrals is obtained from measurements of U238 resonance-escape probability for lattices of the TRX critical facility, and measurements of the U239 resonance integrals of isolated rods of UO2 and uranium metal. The TRX lattices are H2O-moderated and composed of cylindrical, aluminum-clad fuel rods of slightly enriched uranium metal or UO2. The measurements are in agreement with two forms of equivalence among lattice and isolated rod resonance integrals for a given fuel composition. The equivalence between resonance integrals for fuel rods of different compositions (U and UO2) does not appear to be as good.
