THE EFFECTIVE U$sup 238$ RESONANCE CAPTURE INTEGRALS OF URANIUM METAL AND UO$sub 2$ RODS

OSTI ID:4724044
The effective U/sup 238/ resonance neutron capture integrals of uranium metal and UO/sub 2/ rods of a variety of diameters are measured by an activation technique. Small corrections are applied to compensate for departure of the flux spectrum from a 1/E shape. The results are compared with measurements and calculations. There is agreement for UO/sub 2/. For U metal agreement is not as good, but the difference is judged to be within the overall uncertainty. (auth)
