MULTIREGION REACTOR KINETICS EQUATIONS BASED ON REGION FLUXES

OSTI ID:4073573
Multiregion reactor kinetics is studied on the assumption that the critical flux can be decomposed into a set of fluxes each of which corresponds to one region of the reactor (region fluxes). The principal objective is to find the region fluxes that result in the best kinetics equations for the multiregion reactor perturbed over a specified region. One of the advantages of this method is that even for the perturbation which excites several higher-mode fluxes this method gives a good approximation without increasing the dimension of the kinetics equations. Another advantage is the elimination of the eigenvalue problems for the highermode fluxes of the unperturbed reactor. Numerical calculations on fictitious two-region reactors show that this method of analysis is encouraging. (auth)
