CAROLINE I. A CALCULATION METHOD FOR NONIRRADIATED ORGANIC LIQUID HEAVY WATER LATTICES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4726269
The main lines of the nonirradiated lattice calculations in ORGEL-type reactors are presented. This method (called Caroline I) is based on the French correlation for heavy water-moderated and -cooled lattices and takes account of the differences arising out of the presence of organic in the fuel element. The method was compared with the results of critical experiments carried out on natural uranium oxide, heavy water, organic lattices, and a fairly satisfactory agreement was found. The criteria used to determine the effective resonance integral constants of the uranium carbide lattices for which no experimental values are available are illustrated. Caroline I was programmed on IBM 7090. The arrangement of the code input and output data is shown. (auth)
