MEASUREMENTS MADE DURING THE COMMISSIONING OF THE WINDSCALE ADVANCED GAS- COOLED REACTOR (WAGR)

Abstract

Some measurements were made on the WAGR fuel in the APEX and HERO facilities in order to derive the loading pattern. The reactor was then loaded, and measurements of the excess reactivity were in good agreement with predictions. Other measurements made were control rod calibrations, reactivity worths of control rods, isothermal temperature coefficient, and pressure drops. (D.L.C.)
