Criticality safety research at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville

Conference ·
OSTI ID:543261
 [1]
  1. University of Tennessee, Knoxville, TN (United States)
A list of seven research projects in nuclear criticality safety being conducted at the University of Tennessee is given. One of the projects is very briefly described. The study of space-dependent kinetics analysis of a hypothetical criticality accident involving an array of bottles containing UO2F2 is being conducted for the US DOE, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, K-25 plant. Preliminary results for power versus time are presented, which indicate that space-time effects are significant after approximately 70 seconds.
