ZPPR Assembly 13 - detailed work plan No. 28: sodium-void worth measurements in ZPPR-13B/4

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/709225· OSTI ID:709225

The engineering benchmark configuration of ZPPR-13, designated 13B/4, will be used to measure the worth of sodium removal from a series of zones which include parts of all three fuel rings and one blanket ring. In a departure from recent practices, the voiding zones will have only half-core symmetry. By maintaining only half-core symmetry, a large variety of zones can be voided without requiring the handling of an excessive number of drawers. Reflooding will be done in a single step.
