Physics Pre-Startup Report: Esada Vallecitos Experimental Superheat Reactor

Description: This report defines the scope of the initial core loading and critical testing program and indicates acceptable methods for the execution of the tests. Included in the report is a compilation of results and conclusions from physics calculations performed to guide the testing and startup of the ESADA-Vallecitos Experimental Superheat Reactor (EVESR).

Resonance Integral Calculations for Evaluation of Doppler Coefficients: The Rapture Code

Description: A code (RAPTURE) was programmed for the Philco TRANSAC 2000 computer to perform calculations needed for the evaluation of Doppler Coefficients in fast reactors with degraded neuron spectra. This code computes resonance integrals, averages them over resonance parameter distributions, and computes fission and capture cross sections as a function of fuel temperature and of potential scattering cross section per absorber isotope.
