MTR SHIM ROD CALIBRATIONS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4826908
The data from six Materials Testing Reactor shim rod calibrations were compiled and reduced to values of excess reactivity versus average shim rod position. The reduced data have a spread of about 20%. A curve fitted to the most recent data was used to construct a nomograph for computing the excess reactivity associated with any given change in shim rod positions. (auth)
