FFTF reactor characterization program review
Description
Neutronic and gamma ray characterization goal accuracies in the FFTF have been achieved. Gamma ray measurements are in agreement with premeasurement calculations. An analysis of core center neutron reaction rate data results in upward adjustment of the neutron spectrum below 1 keV, an energy range crucial to breeder reactor safety parameters such as Doppler and sodium void coefficients. In addition, the ratio, 238U(n,γ)/239Pu(n,f) is overpredicted by approx. 6% with ENDF/B-V data; this ratio is important in breeder reactor economics
