The critical masses of oil reflected, enriched uranium metal assemblies were experimentally determined to obtain data for comparison with calculations. The center, or moderator region, of these assemblies is filled with oil or steel. The moderator region and the surrounding uranium region are spherically shaped for one series of measurements and hemispherical in shape for the second. The inner uranium region radius is varied from 0 to 12 cm. Calculations were performed for the oil moderated and reflected spherical assemblies. The results of the calculations and experiment are compared. |
