PARAMETER SURVEY OF THE AVERAGE NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION IN THE HNPF RARE EARTH CONTROL ROD POISON COLUMN ASSEMBLY

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4841226
The control rod capture gamma power generation from capture gammas ortginating in the rare earth poison ring was calculated as a function of poison wall thickness and poison density. The results are in good agreement with these of SRE In-pile Poison Ring Test No. 2. For an assumed reactor power level of 20 Mw, the average power generation in the experimental poison assembly is calculated to be 1.53 kw/ft, in agreement with the experimental value of 1.50 kw/ ft.
