CALCULATED REACTIVITY CHANGES PRODUCED BY THE OSCILLATION OF AN EPITHERMAL NEUTRON ABSORBER IN THE BULK SHIELDING REACTOR
An attempt is made to ascertain the optimum working conditions of a pile oscillator and to compare this method with the danger coefficient technique from the point of view of minimum amount of resonance absorption which can be detected. The space-time behavior of the absorption properties of the sample is described by means of a delta -function and the reactor kinetic equations are obtained by using a single mode expansion of the flux. The results are applied to a bare reactor model equivalent to the fully reflected, parallelepiped BSR-I. (W.D.M.)
