Construction and calibration of a fast neutron spectrum generator

Creator:

Dobbin, Kenneth Dwight

Abstract:

A standard fast reactor spectrum can be created by the partial moderation of the U-235 fission spectrum in an air cavity. Spherical natural uranium shells are driven by thermal neutrons from a thermal column. The uranium is placed at the center of a spherical graphite hohlraum to reduce the anisotropic...

AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF RICHARD WILLIAM SPINRAD for the
A comparison of iterative methods for the solution of elliptic partial differential equations, particularly the neutron diffusion equation

Creator:

Schwinkendorf, Kevin N.

Abstract:

Two new concepts have been explored in solving the neutron diffusion equation in one and two dimensions. At the present time, the diffusion equation is solved using source iterations. These iterations are performed in a mathematical form which has a great deal of physical significance. Specifically, the neutron production term...
