Oralloy Cylindrical Shape Factor and Critical Mass Measurement in Graphite, Paraffin, and Water Tampers

Description: Critical mass of an Oy (93.9%) sphere in graphite is given as a function of graphite tamper thickness. It was shown that approximately 20(in) of graphite is effectively infinite and that the approximately 17(in) used herein is approximately 98% infinite. Critical mass measurements of Oy (93.9%) spheres and cylinders of different diameters are given for approximately 17(in) graphite tamper, for effectively infinite paraffin tamper, and for effectively infinite water tamper. From these measuremen… more
