BUCKLINGS OF HEAVY WATER MODERATED LATTICES OF ZEEP RODS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4731099
The bucklings of heavy water moderated lattices of ZEEP rods (3.25 cm diameter natural U metal contained in aluminum tubes) were measured by the flux mapping method in the ZED-2 reactor. The isotopic composition of the moderator was 99.46 atom percent D{sub 2}O. The bucklings, corrected for the 0.34 atom percent difference in isotopic composition, are in excellent agreement with earlier measurements made in the ZEEP reactor. (auth)
