Light water critical experiments have been performed in order to measure microscopic parameters and conversion ratios in single region and multi-region cores containing slightly enriched, stainless steel clad, UO2 fuel rods. The experimental results were analyzed with multi-group codes which were supplemented for the resonance energy by a Monte Carlo code. Experimental and analytical results are presented along with a description of experimental and analystical investigations performed in order to account for discrepancies between theory and experiment.
