A reappraisal of experimental relative conversion ratios for early cores in DIMPLE
Description
Recent measurements of the neutron capture rates in U238 in DIMPLE assemblies have highlighted an error in earlier DIMPLE benchmark data. Although the source of the error was identified many years ago, revised data have never been formally published. To remedy this omission, corrections for the early results have been derived to obtain a recommended set of values. On average the corrected results are (3.3 ± 0.5) % larger than the original values. It is shown that the corrected results are in good agreement with other early measurements, which were rejected at the time, and with those obtained using current techniques. (author)
