EXACT SOLUTION OF THE REACTOR KINETICS EQUATIONS FOR LINEAR, EXPONENTIAL, OR RECIPROCAL REACTIVITY DEPENDENCE ON TIME

The general equations for reactor dynamics at low power are integrated by means of Laplace type integrals for the three cases of linear, exponential, or reciprocal (1/t) reactivity variation. In the first and second case, the exact solution can be written under the form of the generalized function of-the parabolic cylinder and the Meijer G function, respectively. When the effect of the delayed neutrons is represented by a single equivalent group, the solution in the third case can he expressed by means of the confluent hypergeometric function. (tr-auth)
