title = "PLANNING FOR NUCLEAR TESTING AFTER CORE INTERNALS CHANGEOUT \#6 IN THE ADVANCED TEST REACTOR",
abstract = "A series of physics tests were planned for the Advanced Test Reactor (ATR) after the sixth Core Internals Changeout (CIC) in 2021. These tests verify nuclear characteristics of the new reflector and shim mechanisms and are validation cases for core models. This work describes planning for these tests and compares the physics tests with those performed previously in ATR. This work also identifies unique characteristics of ATR that result in the need for unique tests.",
