Evaluation of absorber worth measurements in SNEAK 12C2
Description
Due to the difficulties encountered in former evaluations of the absorber experiments in SNEAK 12C, a re-evaluation had been performed. It was found that the difficulties were caused by the use of erroneous number densities for the absorbers on one side and by an incorrect modelling of the buffer and driver zones, surrounding the test zone, on the other. After correction of the absorber number densities and by application of three-dimensional calculational methods, consistent results could be obtained. The calculation-to-experiment values (C/E) are now in the range of 0.85 to 0.90 and are sufficiently close to the values for the uranium core SNEAK 12A (0.89 to 0.93)
