VARIATIONAL CALCULATION OF THERMAL-AVERAGE CROSS SECTIONS
Calculated values of thermal utilization in an infinite medium are in general only as accurate as the neutron energy spectrum used to obtain them. A method of variational calculation of spectra (VARICOS) is outlined here which employs an approximate adjoint (neutron importance) function to obtain improved utilization values with small additional effort.
