Title: NEUTRON MULTIPLICATION BY EXPERIMENTAL GAS COOLED REACTOR FUEL ASSEMBLIES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4725675

Experiments were conducted to determine the source neutron multiplication of EGCR fuel assemblies under conditions which might exist in transportation and storage. Twenty-eight fuel assemblies were arranged to yield maximum nuclear reactivity under conditions which might be expected for out-of- reactor environments. It was found that these 28 assemblies cannot be made critical when water moderated and reflected. (auth)
