Some problems of pulsed reactor dynamics

  • Published:
Soviet Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

Selected problems concerning the dynamics of a fast pulsed reactor are considered; firstly, the method is discussed of pulse generation in a fast reactor by means of insertion of a rod with the presence in the reactor of a strong neutron source; an equation is derived for the optimum velocity of the rod; solutions are given of dynamical equations relating to the case of movement of the rod; secondly, the effect is investigated of a large internal cavity on the energy release following a pulse and on the reactivity thermal quenching factor for a fast pulsed reactor in spherical geometry.
