Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4735732· OSTI ID:4735732
The reactivity characteristics of the operating Yankee Core I are analyzed. Calculations of kinetic parameters, kinetic coefficients, control rod and boron worth, core lifetime and burnup rate, and fission product poisoning, are described. A large amount of experimental data obtained during Core I operation is included and comparisons are made between prediction and experiments. (auth)
