Pathfinder Atomic Power Plant Measurements of Nuclear Parameters of Boiler and Superheater Lattices
Year: 1959
Type: report
Abstract: Experiments are described which were designed to yield information pertinent to the evaluation of the nuclear parameters of various fuel-moderator lattices in the environment of the Sioux Falls Power Reactor (Controlled Recirculation Boiling Reactor) core. The test lattice section was enclosed in an element which replaced one of the fuel elements of the Penn State Reactor. Parameters measured were U/sup 236/ neutron capture cadmium ratio, space-averaged thermal neutron flux ratios, and reactivity coefficients. (W.D.M.)
