INVESTIGATION OF THE SOLID ANGLE METHOD APPLIED TO REFLECTED CUBIC ARRAYS

摘要

The solid angle method has been applied to neutron interactions between cubic arrays of fissile materials. Interaction curves for a nine-cubic-array system is determined. Interaction between units in single-array systems is also investigated. It is found that the safety curve for unit interaction given in TID-7016 is not applicable to single reflected cubic arrays of high enrichment fissile materials.
