Conclusions

We have described the basic features of the step-by-step method of obtaining the finite-difference equations describing the neutron distribution in a heterogeneous reactor.

It is proposed to devote further study to an analysis of the approximation to which the method should be limited in most actual situations, what further microdistributions of neutrons within a reactor cell should be found, and what accuracy is required in their calculation.
