MEASURED LATTICE PARAMETERS FOR NATURAL URANIUM METAL ROD LATTICES IN D$sub 2$O
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4839952
The nuclear parameters of sixteen D/sub 2/O-moderated lattices of natural uranium rod clusters were measured in the Process Development Pile. The clusters consisted of 1, 3, 7, or 19 uranium metal rods, 1 inch in diameter and clad with 0.032 inch of aluminum. Triangular lattice spacings between clusters ranged from 7 to 21 inches, center to center. The parameters that were measured included the number of fission neutrons per thermal neutron absorption, the fast fission factor, the resonance escape probability, the thermal utilization, and the thermal diffusion area.
