Subcriticality measurements for two coupled uranyl nitrate solution tanks using 252Cf-source-driven neutron noise analysis methods
Description
The subcriticality of two interacting solution tanks was determined using 252Cf-source-driven neutron noise analysis methods. This work was supported by a program of collaboration between the US Dept. of Energy and the Power Reactor and Nuclear Fuel Development Corporation of Japan to study aspects of nuclear criticality safety related to the development of fast breeder technology. These experiments were the first test of this method for an interacting system with materials (in this case, uranyl nitrate 140 g U/l, 93.15 wt% 235U) typical of nuclear materials in processing plants
