Abstract

Three-dimensional neutron diffusion calculations are routinely performed in support of various NRC-sponsored reactor fuel testing programs conducted in the Power Burst Facility test reactor at the Idaho National Engineering Laboratory. The calculations are done with the PDQ-7-II program. Results obtained to date show that criticality is quite accurately predicted at various steady-state power levels. In addition, for one reactor configuration considered measured axial power distributions at three different radial locations compare well with the predicted distributions.
