Adventures in ten dimensions: misleading assumptions in array analysis
Description
It is concluded that nearly all assumptions related to a moderated-array calculational study must be tested. For instance, a calculation of full-density, highly enriched uranium loadings is not in itself proof of the safety for all lower densities, lower enrichments, or material diluents that may occur. The only assumptions which may not need testing are that (1) the reduction in mass of fissile material loadings, or (2) a reduction in the number of packages within an array will produce lower k/sub eff/ values
