MEASUREMENT OF THE PROMPT NEUTRON LIFETIME IN HIFAR

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4785380
The reactor transfer function of HIFAR was measured at low power and compared with the calculated response to determine the prompt neutron lifetime. Lifetime values in the range 600 to 800 microseconds, depending on the position of absorbers within the core and reflector, were ob tained with an estimated error of less than 100 microseconds.
