SOME CLOSE-PACKED LATTICES IN LIGHT WATER AND HEAVY WATER. PART I. BUCKLING MEASUREMENTS

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4841515

Measurements of buckling were made in an exponential system for a set of twelve lattices. The fuel was in rods 1.28 in. in diameter, in aluminum cans, and was arranged in square lattices at spacings of 1.60, 2.11, and 3.20 in. At each spacing the buckling was measured for natural and depleted uranium in light water and in heavy water. The depleted uranium contained 0.26% of U-235. (auth)
