Heterogeneous Reactor Calculation Methods: Final Report, April 1, 1959—June 30, 1961
- TRG, Inc., Syosset, NY (United States)
The application of heterogeneous (small source) reactor physics calculation methods to practical core configurations of loosely-packed lattices is reported. The feasibility and economy of digital computer calculations based on heterogeneous reactor physics is demonstrated. Calculations are carried out for a number of problem areas in reactor physics in which solutions are difficult or impossible by other methods, e.g., spiked lattices, and control rod placement effects. Heterogeneous reactor physics is generalized to include fission at resonance energies and non-thermal reactors. New methods are given for evaluation of fuel and control element parameters. New methods are given for calculation of the kernel functions.
