Summary:

Criticality data obtained with a 14-in.-dia. stainless steel sphere filled with plutonium nitrate of various compositions and with various states of neutron reflection are presented. The data on the paraffin-reflected spheres were corrected for reflector savings and the experiments reduced to equivalent critical systems. The data were also corrected for acid molarity. (J.R.D.)
