Abstract :
A novel and versatile core loading and reactivity measuring system has been designed and reactor tested. The most significant features of the system are the use of a pulsed neutron source for in-core measurements and an on-line reactivity computer coupled with statistical-type measuring channels using a combined counting/Campbelling technique for out-of-core measurements. Advantages of these new measuring techniques and the system hardware are described.
