Thermal Disadvantage Factors in Very Undermoderated Water-Uranium Oxide Lattices

High Conversion Critical Experiments

“…For example, the thermal disadvantage factor and U capture cadmium ratio are re-238 ported instead of the corresponding values of thermal utilization and resonance escape probability, since the latter depend primarily on the theoretical approach used to calculate them from the experimental values. factor has been reported separately, 6 as has an analysis of the cadmium ratios obtained in the Hi-C cores.7 The structure of the ZPR-7 facility has been described in the Hazards Summary Report,8 and the modifications prior to the Hi-C experiment are given in Addendum II' to that report.…”
