Description

A simple inexpensive instrument for measuring the reactivity of a low-power nuclear reactor is described. The readout is directly in cents on a standard meter movement and the instrument is compactly designed using readily-available electronic modules. It is in regular use on the Michigan State University TRIGA reactor. (auth)
