Water flooding criticality study for ZrH flight reactor

Abstract

Five ajialytical criticality ctilculations vere perfomed to study the effects of: l) vsiter reflection only (no core flooding), 2) vater reflection vith 10^ core flooding, 3) water reflection vith 355^ flooding, h) vater reflection plus complete core flooding, and 5) the negative reactivity feedback associated vith rapid core expansion induced by a destructive trsmslent.
