Critical experiments in support of the design of the Fast Flux Test Reactor have been carried out in ZPR-III Assemblies 48, 48A, 51, 52 a through f, and 56B, by personnel of Argonne National Laboratory. This report presents the results and analysis of the experiments performed in Assembly 56B. Measured and calculated values are presented of critical mass, control rod worths, fuel column worths, central fission ratios, and spatial reaction rates. Two dimensional diffusion theory is used with a 26 energy group basic cross section set.
