At the end of the 13B/1 experimental program, the broken-circular-blanket configuration of ZPPR-13B/1 will be converted to the broken-hexagonal-blanket configuration of ZPPR-13B/2. This conversion will consist of interchanging blanket drawers and fuel drawers with a net addition of fuel drawers and a radial expansion of the reactor core. Interchanges will be made in a series of steps, and flux distribution measurements will be made at each step using the 64 in-core fission counters. It is anticipated that the final hexagonal configuration will be approximately 3$ subcritical.
