THE DANCOFF CORRECTION TO THE RESONANCE ABSORPTION IN CLOSE-PACKED CYLINDRICAL FUEL ROD LATTICES
The importance of an integral approach to the problem of the resonance escape probability in close-packed lattices is discussed. A review is performed of the theoretical basis for the Dancoff correction to the effective resonance integral in close-packed lattices. Emphasis is given to a physical interpretation which results in a clear understanding of the problems associated with its application. Although more questions are raised than are resolved, the solution to the problem of the determination of an effective resonance integral in a close-packed lattice is suggested with recommendations to implement ths solution. A computer code, which was written to extend the results of Dancoff, is described and some results obtained from this code are pressnted. (auth)
