Description
Experiments designed to measure the effect of coolant moderator temperature on core reactivity in an high enrichment uranium swimming pool type reactor were performed. The moderator temperature coefficient of reactivity αw was obtained and found to be different in two core loadings. The measured a.w of one core loading was -13 pcm/degree C at the temperature range of 23-30 degree C. This value of αw is comparable to the data published by the IAEA. The αw measured in the second core loading was found to be -8 pcm/degree C at the same temperature range. The results were used in a core simulation utilizing the Dynamic Simulator for Nuclear Power Plants. (authors). 4 refs., 5 figs
