A series of experiments have been performed containing highly enriched uranium, hydrogenous moderator (polyethylene), and gadolinium as a neutron absorber. The purpose of the experiments is to provide additional criticality data that can be used to verify and validate criticality safety evaluations in support of the National Spent Fuel Program. In addition, the experiments were also designed to provide criticality data for heterogeneous systems as noted in reference 1.
