Description/Abstract:
(PAGE 7-21) THE THERMAL TEST REACTOR WAS PUT IN OPERATION. DESCRIBES THE INITIAL CALIBRATIONS. DESCRIBES SEVERAL EXPONENTIAL EXPTS (1) BUCKLING MEASUREMENTS OF ENRICHED U-GRAPHITE LATTICES (2) BUCKLING MEASUREMENTS OF ENRICHED U-H2O LATTICES (3) SOLID FUEL ELEMENT BUCKLINGS (4) HOLLOW FUEL ELEMENT BUCKLINGS (5) ESTIMATE OF CRITICAL MASSES (1.44% ENRICHED, SOLID AND 1.007% ENRICHED, HOLLOW FUEL ELEMENTS) (6) HIGH TEMPERATURE EXPONENTIAL EXPT. (PAGE 22-49) THEORETICAL PHYSICS (1) NUCLEON SELF-ENERGIES (2) LATTICE CALCNS FOR NATURAL U CORED FUEL ELEMENTS, FOR NATURAL U OXIDE FUEL ELEMENTS AND FOR THE EFFECTS OF STAINLESS STEEL CAN ON REACTIVITY (3) RESONANCE ESCAPE PROBABILITY FOR A REACTOR LATTICE COMPOSED OF PARALLEL RODS IS SHOWN (4) MODEL NON-ESCAPE PROBABILITY OF NEUTRONS FOR CONVEX BODIES (HW-44948) (5) NEUTRON STREAMING IN AIR CHANNELS (6) A SOLUTION FOR THE RELATIVE NEUTRON FLUX IN REGIONS OF CYLINDRICAL GEOMETRY BY THE P APPROXIMATION HAS BEEN PROGRAMMED (7) BUCKLING CALCNS FOR 1.69% U-235 U-WATER ROD LATTICES (8) MACHINE CALCNS OF EXCESS ABSORPTION FACTORS. (PAGE 50-56) EXPTL NUCLEAR PHYSICS (1) COMPARISON OF THE U-235 FISSION CROSS SECTION AND AU-197 CAPTURE CROSS SECTION (2) SLOW NEUTRON CROSS SECTION OF PU-240 (3) CRYSTAL SPECTROMETER AUTOMATIC EQUIPMENT (4) A CIRCULATING LINE CHRONOTRON FOR MULTICHANNEL TIME MEASUREMENTS IN THE MILLISECOND REGION.
