Development of a low enrichment uranium core for the MIT reactor
… plates of 0.55 mm thickness with 0.25 mm finned aluminum cladding. This design also utilized solid beryllium dummies with boron fixed absorbers or solid lead dummies, depending on the in-core experiment flux and spectrum needs. Using MCODE, which links MCNP and the point depletion code ORIGEN, it …
