Reactor Experiments -- Reactor Lab #2
Reactivity Measurement Techniques

The purpose of this experiment is to become familiar with various techniques for measuring reactivity changes and reactivity levels within a variety of reactor configurations. This page contains links to all the files directly associated with Reactor Lab #2.

Upon completion of this experiment, the student should have a better understanding of various methods for measuring reactivity changes and the subcritical reactivity level, and be able to apply and interpret the four methods discussed as part of the lab.
