STATIC AND DYNAMIC MULTIPLICATION FACTORS AND THEIR RELATION TO THE INHOUR EQUATION

Journal Article · · Nuclear Sci. and Eng.
OSTI ID:4191758
The theory of the stable period of a fixed-fuel reactor is developed by considering the gross conservation of neutrons in the reactor. The resulting inhour equation directly relates the dynamic multiplication factor to the actual delayed-neutron fractions. The inhour equation may also be written in terms of the conventional multiplication factor if so-called "effective" delayed neutron fractions are introduced. The results are in agreement with those of the pertarbation method. (auth)
