To analyze the spatial kinetics of the reactor, a system of equations for the spatial kinetics of the reactor, consisting of two equations, is usually used. One of them describes the behavior of the neutron flux density, and the second describes the behavior of the precursors of delayed neutrons. In this case, the density of the neutron flux includes the flux density prompt neutrons, appearing directly upon fission of the nucleus, and delayed neutrons that appear in the decay of some fission fragments. This system of equations is called classical. This paper considers the possibility of representing the neutron flux density in a nonstationary process by individual equations for prompt and delayed neutrons and presents the initial results of modeling the nonstationary process for dumping a control rod in a fast medium-power reactor. A system of equations describing such a behavior of the neutron field in a reactor is called a system of partial equations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
