Discussion

J.M. CHAUMONT What did you mean by inaccuracy in temperature stabilization during the temperature reactivity measurements? How did you extract the Doppler effect out of the temperature reactivity coefficient measurements?

M.F. TROYANOV The temperature was changed by means of electrical heating and cold traps. This made it difficult to stabilize the temperature.

In the experiments the components of the temperature effect were not separated. I was speaking only of the calculated values of the components.

J. GOURDON, CEA, France Did you make thermal measurements of the detailed power distribution in the core? If so, what are the results of the comparisons with the fission rate distributions measurements in the core?
