Description

Buckling measurements have been carried out in NORA reactor for a series of uniform, square, D2O-moderated lattices with moderator-to-fuel ratios ranging from 99:1 to 12:1 for cylindrical fuel rods of the following specifications: Fuel: 3% enriched, unsintered UO2, density = 9.41 g/cm3, diam. = 1.128 cm. Cladding: 304 stainless steel (S.S.), internal diam. = 1.128 cm, outer diam. = 1.270 cm, thickness = 0.071 cm. The buckling values obtained are compared with different theoretical estimates.
