A method of calculating the steady state xenon poisoning was developed using parameters derived from the power production of individual tubes in the pile. The power of individual tubes was recorded automatically at some of the production piles. The necessary parameter is derived from these data by the use of IBM computers. This method of calculating xenon poisoning eliminates the determination of the flattening in inhours, which is a parameter in the present method of determining the xenon poisoning for a flattened pile. 1 fig.
