STUDIES OF THE EFFECTIVE TOTAL AND RESONANCE ABSORPTION CROSS SECTIONS FOR ZIRCALOY 2 AND ZIRCONIUM
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:4843301
The total absorption cross section for Zircaloy-2 plates of thickness varying from 0.2 to 6.4 mm was determined in the neutron spectrum of the Rl reactor. The effective resonance integrals were obtained by subtracting the thermal cross section from the measured cross sections and dividing by the factor alpha . Effective resonance integrals were also obtained for zirconium after corrections for hafnium, tin, etc. An extrapolated value of 0.85 plus or minus 0.15 b was obtained for the infinitely dilute integral (l/ nu part excluded). The ratio of the resonance integral for plate thicknesses 0.2 and 6.4 mm was measured to be 1.65 plus or minus 0.25. (D.L.C.)
