Abstract

For more than 70 years, LANL has conducted subcritical and critical experiments in support of space reactors, small modular reactors (SMRs), and criticality safety programs. These experiments were performed first at Los Alamos Critical Experiments Facility (LACEF) at TA-18 and in more recent years at the National Criticality Experiments Research Center (NCERC) in Nevada.
