Analogous experiments have also been conducted with MOX and 'dummy' IMF rods, providing the basis for a systematic comparison of experimental and calculational results.Nuclear fuelsCalculationsCerium compoundsComputer simulationLight water reactorsNeutronsPlutonium compoundsPolyethylenesSolid solutionsUraniumIntegral measurements with a plutonium inert matrix fuel rod in a heterogeneous light water reactor latticetext::journal::journal article::research article
