Kinetic Parameters of the University of Maryland Reactor by the Interval-Distribution Method
(1976)The Rossi alpha of the University of Maryland Reactor was measured at criticality and at shutdown by the Babala interval-distribution method. At criticality, α= 188.8 ± 4.7 sec^-1, and at shutdown, α= 1026.6 ± 4.1 ... -
A Computer Study of Nuclear Characteristics of the University of Maryland Reactor
(1967)An analytical study of the University of Maryland Reactor was performed using an IBM 7094 computer. The nuclear analysis codes employed in the study were GAM-I, for fast group cross-section evaluation, Tempest-II, ... -
Gamma Ray Spectra and Shielding Survey of the University of Maryland Reactor
(1963)The gamma ray spectra of the University of Maryland reactor were measured at the beam tube which extends from the side of the reactor to the core, the thermal column and the top of the reactor. There were three gamma ... -
The Effect of Nuclear Reactor Radiation on the Electrical and Mechanical Properties of Epoxide Polymers
(1965)The effect of nuclear reactor radiation on the volume resistivity, bulk compressibility, specific volume, and hardness of three epoxide polymers was studied. The polymers were thermally polymerized and then subjected ... -
Cerenkov Light Production in a Water Moderated Nuclear Reactor
(1963)An experimental investigation of the production of Cerenkov radiation in a water moderated nuclear reactor is conducted using a photomultiplier as a light sensor. The variations in light intensity are studied during ...
