Description

The 10 kW Ohio State University Research Reactor (OSURR) went critical with the standardized 20% enrichment U3Si2 - Al fuel elements on 15 December 1988 and has been operating at power levels up to 50 kW since 19 December 1991 with natural convection core cooling. The computational and engineering work related to the conversion/upgrade process is described
