MH-1A Core 5 Assembly, Zero Power Experiment and Core Physics Test Report

Abstract

MH-1A Core 5 is the first batch-loaded core. This report contains a description of the refueling operation, the results of the Zero Power Experiment conducted on two prototype control rods, and the data and results of core physics testing. This entire operation was performed over a 9-week period beginning in late November 1974, and culminating at power operation on 3 February 1975. Core physics analysis contained herein includes comparisons where applicable between measured values of basic reactor parameters and those predicted in The Theoretical Nuclear Analysis of MH-1A Core 5.
