| Title: | Some aspects of thermal neutron diffusion in non-uniform temperature moderator. |
| Authors: | Thompson, JJ |
| Issue Date: | Jul-1959 |
| Publisher: | Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation |
| Abstract: | The effect of non-uniform temperature on the Maxwellian distribution of thermal neutrons in a non-capturing moderator has been studied, using the heavy gaseous moderator approach. The results indicate that for typical temperature gradients in power reactors, the neutron temperature follows the moderator temperature with a negligible distortion of the spectrum, and that at the boundary between regions of different temperature, perturbations are restricted to a few centimeters. |
