The solution of coupled neutronic/thermal hydraulic nuclear reactor calculations
requires the treatment of the nonlinear feedback induced by the thermal hydraulic
dependence of the neutron cross sections. As a result of these nonlinearities, current
solution techniques often diverge during the iteration process. These instabilities arise
due to the low level...
