CRITICAL REACTOR REQUIREMENTS FOR URANIUM CARBIDE-BERYLLIUM CARBIDE- GRAPHITE SYSTEMS
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4819874
The criticality requirements of nuclear reactors using enriched UC/sub 2/ and moderated by Be/sub 2/C are given. Calculations were based on neutron diffusion theory and performed over wide ranges of core composition, reflector thickness, and free flow ratio. The results are presented graphically to show clearly the interrelations between reactor size, uranium requirement, reactor weight, core composition, reflector thickness, and free flow ratio. (auth)
