Experimental data in DCA (15) Micro-parameters at 25.0 cm pitch lattice

not registered; not registered; not registered; not registered; not registered

Micro-parameters have been measured in plutonium fuel loaded in 25.0 cm pitch lattice. The fuels used for the measurements were 0.54 w/o PuO$$_{2}$$ (standard grade)-UO$$_{2}$$[5SPu] and 0.87 w/o PuO$$_{2}$$ (reactor grade)-UO$$_{2}$$[8RPu]. The "coolants" used in the experiment on 5S Pu fuel lattice were H$$_{2}$$O [0% void], mixture of H$$_{2}$$O, D$$_{2}$$O and H3BO$$_{4}$$ [30% void], and Air [100% void]. In the case 8R Pu fuel, H$$_{2}$$O and Air were used as the coolants. The measurements were also done on the lattice of 0% void fraction with 3.9 $$^{10}$$B ppm in D$$_{2}$$O moderator loaded with 5S Pu fuel to investigate the effect of $$^{10}$$B in the moderator. The micro-parameters such as $$rho$$$$^{28}$$, $$delta$$$$^{25}$$, $$delta$$$$^{49}$$, $$delta$$$$^{28}$$ and $$delta$$$$^{49}$$$$_{25}$$ were obtained by the foil activation method in using plutonium-foils, enriched-uranium-foils, natural uranium foils and depleted uranium foils. The micro-parameters measured in the DCA's lattices are shown in the following table.
