Abstract
Experimentally measured values of the 238U/235U fission rate ratio 628 in uranium dioxide cluster fuel elements in a heavy water moderated, light water cooled reactor lattice configuration are compared with the predictions of one-group Monte Carlo cell calculations (MONTE), corrected for the actual experimental environment. A comparison between MONTE and WIMS calculations for the experiments is also given.
