Summary
The effects of the reactions Be(n,2n), Be(n, alpha ), and O(n, alpha ) on the reactivity of the Maritime Gas Cooled Reactor are calculated over the core lifetime. These reactions cause a buildup of Li/sup 6/ and He/sup 3/ in the reactor. The increase in reactivity from the (n,2n) reaction, as well as the decrease in reactivity from the (n, alpha ) reactions and the neutron absorption by Li/sup 6/ and He/sup 3/, are studied. (T.F.H.)
