TL;DRAbstract

Three special purpose physics tests were performed to investigate certain nuclear characteristics of PWR-1. The axial flux perturbation was inconclusive with regard to the cause of previous control rod position fluctuations. The radial flux perturbation test revealed a damped radial oscillation power behavior. The samarium transient test indicated a measurable reactivity effect from the buildup of samarium. (M.C.G.)
