Energy Per Fission and Power of the Bulk Shielding Reactor (open access)

Energy Per Fission and Power of the Bulk Shielding Reactor

Due to some lack of knowledge of the energy per fission, there has been some uncertainty over the absolute power of the Bulk Shielding Reactor. This report analyzes measurements to state the absolute power of the BSR within a few percent.

Further Studies on Control of the Converter Reactor

Introduction: "This report is an extension of NAA-SR-Memo-178. The results show the number of control rods as a function of the amount of reactivity to be controlled. Numerical solutions are given for a typical example and are readily obtainable for other cases."
