Abstract
The neutronics consequences of using lower enrichment fuels for the research reactor HIFAR have been assessed. Comparative results include neutron flux reactivity performance plutonium production and a selection of reactivity coefficients and safety-related parameters for both high and low burn-up of the fuels considered.
