Multiregion critical cores, built on a split-table assembly machine, have been used to investigate reactor compositions typical of epithermal and fast power reactors. The design and operating features of the facility, constructed to study the Th-U233 fuel cycle, are described. Criticality calculations have been in good agreement with experimental values.
