FAST BREEDER REACTOR KINETICS

E. F. Seleznev

The monographers describes the algorithms and the results of solving nonstationary problems of nuclear reactor theory, as applied to the fast breeder reactors, in particular the direct and inverse problems of reactor kinetics, including both the direct solution of the spatial kinetics, and various approximations, up to the point kinetics, with demonstration problems of the latter. Assesses the use of approximate solutions related to the concept of reactivity. Also presented and the corresponding experimental data. This paper analyzes the algorithms for solving the problem of the kinetics of nuclide, the calculation of decay heat and activity of spent fuel assemblies.

For scientists, engineers and designers who specialize in the modeling of transient processes in nuclear fast breeder reactors.
