Reactor physics experimental program for the Light Water Breeder Reactor (LWBR) at Shippingport (LWBR Development Program)
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:5640425
This report presents and discusses the results of the reactor physics experimental program for the LWBR at Shippingport through 18,298 Effective Full Power Hours. Periodic physics tests have confirmed that movable seed assembly (control element) critical positions and reactivity worths, reactivity coefficients, xenon and protactinium characteristics, core symmetry and core shutdown are within the ranges of values used in the design of LWBR and its reactor protection analysis.
