Multigroup Perturbation Theory and Eigenfunctions
- North American Aviation, Inc., Canoga Park, CA (United States). Atomics International Div.
The multigroup reactor equations are displayed and the orthogonality properties of their eigenfunctions are examined. Matrix notation is used. First-order perturbation theory formulas are obtained by the Rayleigh-Schroedinger method, including an expression for the perturbed flux. The Nordheim method is also presented, and a generalized multigroup inhour equation is derived. The theory is then developed in a slightly different way for the steady-state equations.
