  • Abstract
    Analysis of neutron fluctuations produced by coolant pressure oscillations and of neutron noise were investigated as two possible boiling detection methods during a boiling experiment in the High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR). Neither method detected boiling because the void volume due to boiling was 0.007 in., which is less than the detection threshold for either method.
