Reactor Aquilon. The Hardening of Neutron Spectra in Natural Uranium Rods, with a Computation of Epithermal Fissions; PILE "AQUILON." DURCISSEMENT DU SPECTRE DES NEUTRONS DANS LES BARREAUX D'URANIUM ET CALCUL DES FISSIONS EPITHERMIQUES

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4792835
Microscopic flux measurements in Aquilon were made to investigate the thermal and epithermal flux distribution in natural U rods; from these data the neutron spectrum variations in U, Wescott beta '' term of the average spectrum in the rod, and the ratio of epithermal to thermal fissions were obtained. A new definition for the infinite multiplication factor is proposed, which takes into account epithermal parameters. (auth)
