A Summary Report on Assembly 3 of FR0

Abstract

The third core of the zero energy fast reactor FR0 consisted of 20 % enriched uranium diluted to 29 vol. % with graphite and had a volume of 50 litres. Like previous cores it was surrounded by a thick copper reflector. The report summarizes measurements of critical mass, control rod reactivities, fine structure flux variations and conversion ratio. In particular, effects associated with the heterogeneous arrangement of the uranium and graphite plates are examined.
