Analysis of initial FTR zero-power physics tests

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5332316

It is the objective of this paper to provide selected results of the initial zero-power criticality and rod worth measurements performed on the fully-loaded core, along with calculational results and related critical experiment analyses for comparison. Additional zero-power test results related to the fuel loading process and the initial approach to critical, and the measurement of neutron and gamma fields near the core center, have been reported previously. The physics tests were performed on the fully-loaded FTR core, during February and March 1980, prior to operation at power.
