These experiments are preoperational zero-power nuclear investigations in the Experimental Breeder Reactor II (EBR-II) prior to insertion of sodium coolant. The
Revisions in the reactor system and operating procedures necessary for carrying out a proposed dry critical experiment in the EBR-II are described. The safety a
The EBR-II Wet Critical Experiments were designed to provide two general, but not mutually exclusive, types of information. First there are the data that are es
The physics design problems of the EBR-II are summarized. These include analysis of the EBR-II engineering design as well as applicable zero-power critical expe
