The Laplacian for a Beryllium Metal Lattice of Volume Ratio 17.2

Description: Abstract. the Laplacian of a beryllium metal lattice with 3.3 kg of uranium metal per cell and a volume ratio of 17.2 was measured in the removable region of the CP-2 machine. the sandwich effect with different moderators made interpretation of the observations very uncertain. The best result found was Be = 407 x 10(-6) cm(-2).

On the Multiplication Constant of Homogeneous Mixtures of U with Various Moderators

Description: The following represents a summary of calculations on the multiplication constant of homogeneous mixtures of uranium and different moderators. These calculations were made possible by Fermi's determination of the age of neutrons and by the extrapolation to higher scattering cross-sections of the resonance absorption of uranium as measured by C. Creutz. According to Fermi, the former quantity is 120 sq. cm. The latter is given in the two attached graphs. The first (Fig.1) of these goes as high a… more

Further End Cap Temperature Calculations

Description: Abstract. Recently (CP-1989) it has been shown that the neutron density, and thus the heat production, at the end of a slug with an A1 cap may be appreciably higher than that at the middle of the slag. A re-examination of earlier temperature calculations is made in light of this effect.
