Keywords:Integral experiment, Minor actinide, Reaction rate

In order to expand the experimental data contributing to the nuclear data validation of minor actinide, we have a plan to perform integral experiments in the NRAD belonging to the Idaho National Laboratory. In this study, optimization survey for the design of experimental position in the NRAD was carried out to obtain more beneficial experimental data.
