KINETIC THEORY AND CALCULATIONS IN A FEW-ENERGY-GROUP TWO-SPACE-POINT MODEL FOR A FAST REACTOR PERIODICALLY PULSED BY REACTIVITY VARIATIONS

摘要

This stationarity condition determines together with some reactor parameters which are given by the chosen design or by the operational condition of the reactor, the characteristics of the periodical pulses. In this report consideration is given to a periodically pulsed fast reactor which consists of a core with highly enriched uranium. The core is surrounded by a reflector with scatterers in it in order to get a high thermal neutron flux during the power pulse.
