“…This is an example of a material and energy range that could be targeted with a well designed critical experiment at NCERC. In fact, NCERC recently completed the Chlorine Worth Study (CWS) experiment (Cutler et al, 2022a) -this experiment was focused on the reactivity worth of chlorine at low energies, specifically related to aqueous chloride operations. While this CWS experiment is not very helpful for validating the 35 Cl (n,p) cross section in the fast energy region, another measurement could be designed to test just that.…”

The National Criticality Experiments Research Center (NCERC) located at the Nevada National Security Site (NNSS) in the Device Assembly Facility (DAF) and operated by Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) is the only general purpose critical experiments facility in the United States. Experiments from subcritical to critical and above prompt critical are carried out at NCERC on a regular basis. In recent years, NCERC has become more involved in experiments related to nuclear energy, including the Kilopower/KRUSTY demonstration and the recent Hypatia experiment. Multiple nuclear energy related projects are currently ongoing at NCERC. This paper discusses NCERC’s role in advanced reactor design and how that role may change in the future.
