Investigating Heavy Water Zero Power Reactors with a New Core Configuration Based on Experiment and Calculation Results

The heavy water zero power reactor (HWZPR), which is a critical assembly with a maximum power of 100 W, can be used in different lattice pitches. The last change of core configuration was from a lattice pitch of 18–20 cm. Based on regulations, prior to the first operation of the reactor, a new core...
