摘要在千瓦级斯特林技术反应堆（KRUSTY）冷态临界实验中，通过增加冷态、温态和热态临界实验所需的部件（包括真空室、热管和相关部件），对KRUSTY部件临界结构进行了改进。在KRUSTY冷临界实验配置上进行了反应性测量，目的是获得氧化铍（BeO）反射器和碳化硼（B4C）控制棒部件的反应性测量值。得到的数据是一致的，并允许准确识别BeO和B4C部分厚度所需的实现KRUSTY温暖和热实验配置所需的过量反应。
Abstract For the Kilowatt Reactor Using Stirling TechnologY (KRUSTY) cold critical experiments, the KRUSTY component critical configuration was modified by the addition of parts that would be required for cold, warm, and hot critical experiments (including the vacuum chamber as well as the heat pipes and associated parts). Reactivity measurements were performed on the KRUSTY cold critical experimental configurations with the goal of obtaining reactivity-worth measurements on the beryllium oxide (BeO) reflector and the boron carbide (B4C) control rod parts. The resulting data are consistent and allow for accurate identification of the BeO and B4C part thicknesses required to achieve the excess reactivity needed for the KRUSTY warm and hot experimental configurations.
