PLUTONIUM RECYCLE TEST REACTOR CRITICAL TEST RESULTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4798094
Results of the PRTR critical tests, an extensive testing program which was part of the startup of the Plutonium Recycle Test Reactor, are presented. Included are data on fuel loading, moderator level coefficients, shim rod calibrations, temperature coefficients, flux distributions, boron poison, and substitution tests. Limited analyses of the data show the reactor to have negative void and temperature coefficients, and kinetics parameters which exhibit satisfactory control characteristics. (auth)
