Abstract
This experiment uses the UMR Nuclear Reactor research facility after a high-power run to map out the gamma flux at the different positions on the grid plate. Measuring the gamma flux is done by using a gamma-photon sensor to detect the level of radiation that is present at precise point near the core of the reactor. Measurements of the gamma flux arc taken in rad/hr. with respect to time. A range of values of rad/hr. is 480 rad/hr. at C7 to 1.8 rad/hr. that were taken. A graph is formed and along with a formula. Once there are enough measurements to produce a correlation, a mathematical formula can be obtained. These values have variables that depend on how long and how much the reactor has been ran. This is in kW-hr.
