Analysis of Infinite Domain Criticality Zones in Finite Reactors (Uniform Power, Minimum Fuel Density, Exact Solutions, Poles of Bromwich Integral, Reduction of Pde's)
Abstract
dc:descriptionA reactor that is infinitely large has two ideal properties: (1) The fission rate density and, hence, the power are uniform throughout, and (2) the fuel density needed for criticality is minimum. A finite reactor loaded in this way would be subcritical and would have to contain additional fuel to compensate for neutron leakage to sustain criticality.
