Small, high-temperature, fast-spectrum ractors, of the type proposed for auxiliary spacepower applications, cannot be conveniently controlled by fuel or controlrod motion in the core. Consequently, the reflector must provide the needed reactivity control. Critical experiment measurements employing conventional as well as pulsed-neutron tequniques on various reflector control methods are reported.
