A Digital Computer Solution for Space-Dependent Neutron Kinetics Equations

An Adiabatic Model for Space-Dependent Boiling Water Reactor Kinetics

“…In this model the space-dependent characteristics are only taken into account in evaluating the reactivity to be fed back to the neutron dynamics. Incorpora-tion of nuclear space-dependence was attempted by solving the time-dependent diffusion equa-tion<s>- (7). Since generally, convergence of the diffusion calculation is slow for large reactors, the calculation is time-consuming, even when the feedback loop is open.…”
