Abstract
A generalized linear least squares adjustment procedure has been applied to a combination of dosimetry data obtained in several benchmark fields as well as the pool critical assembly to test the effectiveness of a theory developed to reduce the uncertainties of calculated fluxes at an extrapolated position from data adjustments at a surveillance position. Preliminary results indicate the calculational uncertainties are reduced by up to a factor of two, indicating the real possibility of increasing LWR pressure vessel lifetimes.
