ANS 1 – Conduct of Critical Experiments

ANS 1-2000 (R2019) provides for the safe conduct of critical experiments. Such experiments study neutron behavior in a fission device where the energy produced is insufficient to require auxiliary cooling, and the power history is such that the inventory of long-lived fission products is insignificant.
