This paper discusses the results of a calculational study that was performed to validate the SCALE computer code system using data from critical experiments performed with mixed Pu /plus/ U aqueous solutions. The critical experiments were conducted in an annular vessel where the fissile solution was placed in the annulus, and various inserts and bottles containing fissile solution were located in the inner portion of the vessel.
