Title: EXPERIMENTAL EVALUATION OF THE FULLY LOADED ELK RIVER REACTOR

Conference ·
OSTI ID:4875636

The loading and testing program of the Elk River Reactor confirmed the predicted values. The measured cold, clean excess reactivity agrees to 2% and the control rod worths to 1% of the calculated values. The reactivity for various core loadings and rod positions is tabulated. The effects of spiked elements on the reactivity and radial peak-toaverage power ratio were studied. (D.L.C.)
