Results of Integral Experiments on VERA Assemblies,

Abstract

The VERA reactor at AWRE has been used to study problems in the UK fast power reactor programme and in research reactor design. However, its main function has been to provide experimental results for small fast assemblies against which calculations can be compared to improve the nuclear cross-sections used. This report outlines the experimental methods used in the VERA work and gives the results. (Author)
