Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor Hot Exponential Experiment

A series of exponential experiments were performed using Consolidated Edison Thorium Reactor oxide type fuel pins in a light water lattice. These experiments were performed in a new facility where measurements were made at temperatures up to 468 F. In addition, boric acid was added to the system in various concentrations. The main objective of these experiments was to obtain the change in material buckling for the system as operating conditions were changed from ambient temperature to high temperature.
