THE EXPERIMENTAL DETERMINATION OF FAST FISSION FACTORS IN LIGHT WATER- MODERATED, SLIGHTLY ENRICHED URANIUM ROD LATTICES

Journal Article · · J. Nuclear Energy, Pts. A & B. Reactor Sci. and Technol.

The ratio, delta /sub 28/, of the fission rate in U/sup 238/ to that in U/sup 235/ was determined for various slightly enriched hexagonal miniature uranium rod lattices in light water. The experimental values of delta /sub 28/ and epsilon are given for 1.0, 1.15, and 1.3 per cent fuel enrichments, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 4 water-touranium volume ratios and 0.250, 0.387, and 0.600 in. rod diameters.
