  2. Principles of a Nuclear Reactor Leakage E N2 2 MeV N1 Fast fission n n/fission Energy Slowing down Resonance abs. ν ≈ 2.5 Non-fissile abs. Non-fuel abs. 1 eV Fission 200 MeV/fission Leakage T:Reactor Kinetics

  3. Homogeneous infinite reactor T:Reactor Kinetics

  4. T:Reactor Kinetics

  5. Kinetic Equations T:Reactor Kinetics

  6. Solution of Kinetic Equations T:Reactor Kinetics

  7. Delayed neutrons ignored n(t)/n(0) ρ0 >0 C(t)/C(0) ρ0 <0 ρ0 Time T:Reactor Kinetics

  8. Inhour Equation Unit “inverse hour” = inhour 1 inhour = amount of reactivity needed to make the reactor period equal to one hour 1 pcm (per cent mille) = 10-5 of Δk/k 1$ is equal to ρ = β T:Reactor Kinetics
