THE INCLUSION OF GREY SLABS IN THE FINITE DIFFERENCE NEUTRON DIFFUSION APPROXIMATION

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4708612
An analysis of the behavior of the asymptotic flux on either side of a strongly absorbing grey slab in an otherwise uniform medium, with an arbitrary distribution of sources, leads to a method of accounting for the effect of the slab within the framework of the diffusion approximation. It is necessary to introduce a new parameter, the linear extrapolation distance at the surface of the slab in an anti-symmetrical neutron distribution. (auth)
