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...
