The relation of the inhour and the dynamic period equations

Conference · · Transactions of the American Nuclear Society; (USA)
OSTI ID:5323068
This paper demonstrates that the inhour equation is a special case of the dynamic period equation and urges that both relations be taught as part of standard nuclear engineering curricula. This latter consideration is of particular importance because the dynamic period equation is the basis of control strategies now being considered for reactor-powered spacecraft. Also, this equation may become the basis of control schemes for other reactor types, including medium-sized commercial units.
