Title: AN APPLICATION OF A NEW METHOD FOR THE SOLUTION OF GROUP DIFFUSION EQUATIONS TO A CYLINDRICAL FLUX TRAP ASSEMBLY WITH SPONTANEOUS FISSION SOURCE

In the case of an infinite reflector, the group diffusion equations are converted to a system of integral equations by a Green's function technique. This system is then Fourier transformed. The transformed Fredholm-type equations have a degenerate kernel, and the solution may be reduced to a system of linear algebraic equations with infinitely many unknowns. The theory is developed for the case of a three-group three-region cylindrical flux trap assembly. (auth)
