Self-sustained regime of nuclear burning wave in U–Pu fast reactor with Pb–Bi coolant
The regime of the nuclear burning wave in a fast reactor is described using the non-stationary diffusion equation for neutron transport and equations of the fuel component burn-up and of nuclear kinetics for precursor nuclei of delayed neutrons. A critical two-zone fast reactor of cylindrical form w...

A critical two-zone fast reactor of cylindrical form with metal fuel of the U–Pu cycle with Pb–Bi coolant is considered. The neutron leakage in transverse direction was taken into account using the concept of radial buckling. The calculation results of the space-time evolution of neutron flux in this system using the effective multi-group approximation are presented. |
