The Effect of Reflector Location on Array Criticality

摘要

The criticality studies presented in the report suggest a method for estimating the effect of reflector location on the criticality of arrays of subcritical units of fissile materials. The study was conducted by a validated method and employed calculations performed with KENO-IV Monte Carlo Criticality Code in conjunction with the Hansen-Roach sixteen-group neutron cross section sets as was used in the validation.
