The problem considered is that of determining the efficiency of a partially inserted control rod of a thermal reactor by calculating the buckling. Since, according to one-group theory, this buclding is the smallest eigenvalue of the differential equation for the thermal neutron flux with the corresponding boundary conditions, it is derived from a classical variational problem.
