Experimental Studies of Slightly Enriched Uranium, Water Moderated Lattices - Part I: 0.600-in.-Diameter Rods

Uranium-Water Lattice Compilation Part I: BNL Exponential Assemblies

“…An auxiliary experiment is indispensable to determine K(t) (5,7,8,9). If we take into account these slightly different atomic densities, equation (5) This is the formula adopted for the determination of 0 28 • To do this, it is necessary to determine the correction factors u23s K(t) to convert a measured ratio of ~ fission product e activ-U ities to a true fission rate ratio (10).…”

“…The relationship between the fission rate and fission product S activity or U an U was determined y t e dou le fission chamber experiment (5,7,8,10,11).…”

Semi-Empirical Formulas for Microparameters δ25, δ28, ρ28in Water Moderated Slightly Enriched Uranium and Uranium Oxide Lattices

“…With regard to the early data on the 1% enriched fuel lattices from BNL (Refs. (1) and (2) in Table 1), the values based on the semiempirical formulas for o 25 deviate from the experimental data. These data were measured by the Al-catcher foil method.…”

Measurement of Material Buckling of U-H2O Assembly

“…( 1 1 ) Consequently, radial flux-density measurements at a constant height above the source would provide a graph from which a, could be found by fitting the experimental curve to a zero-order Bessel function. Similarly, at distances not too near the top, 'Y, is evaluated from the slope of the plot of In cp against z by the method of least squares.…”
