Description

An investigation to improve performance of the MNSR is presented. Modification of the available excess reactivity of the core through the addition of 2 mk reactivity is suggested. New operating procedure of the reactor is devised. Measured and calculated effect of temperature reactivity coefficient was evaluated. Good agreement between measured and calculated reactivity effects was obtained. Safety margin for the modified case has been slightly enhanced. (Author)
