Reference critical experiments. Progress report, July 1, 1977--September 30, 1977

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5240254
; ;
Benchmark criticality experiments are being performed in both high- and low-enriched uranium experiments within a variety of configurations. The material composition of the concrete reflector, used in the high-enriched uranium solution experiments (Task 4), has been analyzed and is reported. Two methods were used and good agreement found between the two. The uranium oxide compaction, needed for the low-enriched array experiments (Task 5) to attain sufficient density, has been completed. A systematic study has begun to determine the best method of distributing moisture throughout the compacted oxide.
