Description/Abstract:
A SERIES OF 7 EXPERIMENTS WAS PERFORMED IN THE KE REACTOR UNDER OPERATING CONDITIONS TO DETERMINE THE GRAPHITE TEMPERATURE COEFFLUENT OF REACTIVITY AS A FUNCTION OF ACCUMULATED FUEL IRRADIATION, OR, MORE SEPCIFICALLY, OF PU BUILDUP. THE RESULTS OF THESE EXPERIMENTS ARE REPORTED AND THE APPLICABILITY AND LIMITATIONS OF THE RESULTS AND THE EXPERIMENTAL METHOD ARE DISCUSSED. DATA UPON WHICH THE RESULTS ARE BASED ARE TABULATED.
