Description

A series of experiments for zirconium-hydride added metallic fuel fast reactor was carried out at FCA to estimate calculation accuracy for a moderator added metallic fuel fast reactor. The selection of the experimental cores and the results of critical characteristics measurements are described. The criticality of the experimental cores was analyzed using standard analysis method for FBR. It was found that the calculated effective multiplication factors for the present cores underestimated the experiments in comparison with the MOX FBR core. (author)
