NMSR HOT EXPONENTIAL EXPERIMENT

Material buckling and thermal neutron flux fine structure measurements of the NMSR hot exponential core are described. Fine structure measurements for cold and hot conditions through slab-geometry regions that represented a boron-SS control rod, an aluminum rod follower, and a water gap are described and their results are presented. Preparatory measurements, migration area calculation, and error analysis are discussed in the appendices.(Author)
