Description/Abstract:
DEPENDANCE OF THE RESONANCE INTEGRAL FOR U-238 ON GEOMETRY AND U TEMP HAS BEEN DETD THROUGH DANGER COEFF. MEASUREMENGS PERFORMED IN THE HANFORD TEST PILE. GEOM DEPENDENCE WAS INVESTIGATED USING U CYLINDERS OF VARIOUS DIAMS IN THE FORM OF SOLID ELEMENTS AND SHELLS. TEMP DEPENDENCE WAS STUDIES BY HEATING U ELEMENTS AND LETTING THEM COOL WHILE OBSERVING THE CHANGE IN PILE REACTIVITY. SOME INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS IS ALSO PRESENTED
