The theory of standing waves of nuclear combustion in reactors having a flat, cylindrical or spherical shape of the core is developed. A spherical standing wave occurs when nuclear burning propagates radially from the center of the sphere, and ²³⁸UO₂ fuel moves to the center and is removed from the...
