STATISTICAL FLUCTUATIONS OF NEUTRON MULTIPLICATION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4280351
Statistical fluctuations of neutron multiplication are due partly to fluctuations in the number of neutrons produced by the fission process and partly to fluctuations in the durution of the chain reaction process. Relations are deduced for defining the statistical fluctuations of neutron multiplication by using a procedure of more general character than that given by Hoffmann. The possibilities to be realized by use of the more general procedure are indicated. It is assumed that the multiplying medium is infinite and that spatial distribution of different atomic nuclei within it is uniform. (W.D.M.)
