Comparison of Calculated and Measured Irradiated Wire Data for HEU and Mixed HEU/LEU Cores in the ORR (Oak Ridge Research Reactor)

摘要

Low power wire activations are being performed in the Oak Ridge Research Reactor (ORR) as part of the whole-core LEU demonstration experiments. Calculations of the demonstration cores, including simulation of the wire activations, are being performed at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). This paper presents the results of comparisons for 293 wires from five cores and shows that, on the average, the integrated activities agree within 6%. (ERA citation 12:040946)
