OSTI ID:4802946
An engineering critical experiment of the Pressure Tube Reactor (PTR) core using the facilities of the Industrial Reactor Laboratories pool-type research reactor is described and some of the results are presented. The experiment was planned and performed so that both engineering and physics objectives would be realized simultaneously and costs minimized. Successful data are obtained on the following engineering and physics objectives: control rod performance; performance of fuel handling tools; compatibility with pool reactor instrumentation; general suitability of component design to a pool type installation; mass coefficients; cadmium ratios; critical mass; control rod worths; reactivity effects of void, boron, aluminum, and stainless steel; and detailed flux distributions.
