Abstract

Detailed Monte Carlo calculations have been made of the reflector-controlled liquid-metal reactor critical experiments performed in ZPRR-14. The principal result of the Monte Carlo study was calculation of the worth of various experimental reflector configurations. These values were compared with measured reflector worths and with results calculated with three-dimensional nodal diffusion theory and transport theory methods.
