Optimizing a natural uranium heavy water research reactor

S. Goshen, A. Pazy, R. Thieberger

Abstract

The minimum core volume was found for a research reactor, subject to the following specifications: a maximum thermal flux (averaged over the cell) of 5 x 10/sup 13/ ture not exceeding 450 deg C for the hottest fuel element, and 100 deg C for the cooling water. (auth)
