Multigroup method of calculations used in the design of the reactor for the atomic electric power station

  • Published:
The Soviet Journal of Atomic Energy Aims and scope

Abstract

In reference [1] a survey is given of the methods and of the results of the physical design calculations for the reactor of the /APS; which are closely related to the well known two-group method. The design calculations for the APS reactor were also performed by means of the multigroup method. Some of the results of these calculations obtained on the basis of an extensive use of the method of finite differences are given in the present article.
