Measurement data have been obtained from a series of criticality experiments on systems simulating fuel element shipping containers and fuel storage pools. The conditions investigated involved clusters of low enriched UO/sub 2/ fuel rods immersed in water. The number of rods required for criticality near optimum neutron moderation and the criticality near optimum neutron moderation and the critical separation between three subcritical clusters of these rods aligned in a row was determined for 2.35 wt% /sup 235/U-enriched rods and for 4.29 wt% /sup 235/U-enriched rods.
