Core test program: UWNR mixed TRIGA-FLIP core
Description
Six new FLIP fuel bundles (Nos. 43 through 48) and one standard instrumented element were received on December 28, 1977. Normal fuel element measurements were performed on the new FLIP fuel bundles and the instrumented fuel element was prepared for service by attaching conduit and connecting thermocouple leads to an appropriate connector. A loading to critical was begun on December 20, 1977, and completed on January 3, 1978. Initial criticality was reached at 1340 on January 3, 1978, with 19 fuel bundles in the core and control rods banked at 15.12 inches withdrawn. Shutdown margin of the 19-bundle critical core was measured to be 7.8% reactivity
