NS SAVANNAH--5000 EFPH PHYSICS TESTS

The nuclear characteristics of the N.S. Savannah's Core 1, presented herein, were measured at the burnup level of 4246 effective full-power hours(EFPH). These measurements fulfill the safeguard requirement of the scheduled physics test period at 5000 EFPH. No adverse trend or anomalous reactivity effect has developed since Core 1 was installed in December 1961.
