HNPF DRY AND WET CRITICAL CALCULATIONAL METHODS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4777732
The methods used in Hallam Nuclear Power Facility (HNPF) dry and wet critical calculations are described. The methods were used in studying the various safety aspects of pre-operational and operatlonal procedures on dry critical and dry excess loadings in order to obtain information on the nuclear performance of the HNPF core. The core reactivity calculations were performed within the ultimate framework of one-dimensional few-group diffusion theory in cylindrical geometry, digital computer codes being the principal tools for the reactor calculations.
