Description/Abstract The Pawling Lattice Test Rig (PLATR) is a D/sub 2/0moderated, graphite and masonite-reflected critical system with a multiregion core. It is constructed in a 5 x 5 ft aluminum tank with a sectional aluminum and masonite cover. The PLATR is to be used to measure the infinite multiplication factor and a variety of lattice parameters of natural uranium lattices through the use of only a small sample of the lattice placed in the center of an enriched reactor. The general procedures presented in NDA-2-74 (Operating Manual for the NDA Pawling Critical Facility) are supplemented and extended. (W.D.M.)
