The effect of holes on a reactor is considered by using appropriate boundary conditions on the asymptotic neutron flux at the surface of the holes. For a flux varintion along the hole, this method gives the same streaming correction as Behrens, but for a flux variation across the hole, the streaming correction is smaller than that given by Behrens' formula. Values of the radial streaming correction factor are compared with experimental and Monte Carlo results and also with values obtained from an iterative method. (auth)
