Keywords:Third order neutron-correlation technique, Bootstrap method, Subcriticality measurement, Reactor noise

Applicability of the bootstrap method is investigated to estimate the statistical error, i.e. confidence interval, of the third order neutron-correlation technique using only a single measurement of reactor noise. Through a numerical experiment which virtually simulates the reactor noise experiment, we verify the coverage probability of the estimated confidence interval.
