A Design for a Rotary Reactivity Control for a Test Reactor
Description:
Tests made on the Oy-Tu reacting assembly at Pajarito indicate that the lateral displacement of two halves of the active material within the assembly can be used as a control mechanism on this type of reacting assembly. This report describes a reacting assembly using a rotary control mechanism based on this principle and indicates the sensitivity of control possible with such a device.
