; ; ; ; ;
Measurements of the subcritical neutron multiplication factor, k/sub eff/, using the /sup 252/Cf source-driven neutron noise analysis method were performed for an unreflected annular tank containing plutonium-uranium nitrate solution but having the central region of the annulus void of significant materials. This experiment is part of a program of collaboration between the US Dept. of Energy and the Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation of Japan to study criticality safety related to the development of fast breeder technology.
