A COOLED-REFLECTOR, HOT-BeO-CORE CRITICAL EXPERIMENT

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4773810
A series of criticai experiments to investigate temperature-reactivity effects and temperature-power distribution interactions with a cooled graphite reflector on two sides of a BeO core is described. It was found that for a core with a gross BeO/U/sup 235/ ratio of 556 to 1, the reactivity was not dependent on the graphite reflector temperature. The experiments were performed at the HOT BOX facility. (J.R.D.)
