A basis for the computation of the energy dependence of the neutron flux and slowing down density in a bare reactor

Abstract

A method is described for the computation of the energy dependence of the neutron flux and slowing down density in a bare reactor to form the basis of a 7090 Fortran computer program for survey studies of power reactors. Allowance is made for resonance absorption and resonance fission, neutron thermalisation, fast neutron reactions including (n, 2n) and (n, n), and anisotropic elastic scattering.
