Nuclear Parameter Study In One, Two, And Three Dimensions, Jan Robert Lojek
Nuclear Parameter Study In One, Two, And Three Dimensions, Jan Robert Lojek
Masters Theses
"A parameter study comparing one-, two-, and three-dimensional reactor design analyses was undertaken. Computer programs (codes) were used extensively for the computations and running times on the IBM 360/50 were observed. The values of primary concern were neutron flux shapes, effective multiplication factors, and fuel depletion. Dresden I nuclear power plant with fuel type 1 represents the model reactor. Cross section calculations were performed using the nuclear codes HRG and TEMPEST II, FEVER, EXTERMINATOR-2, AND FLARE generated the nuclear parameters"--Abstract, page ii.

Solution Of The Two-Dimensional Multigroup Neutron Diffusion Equation By A Synthesis Method, William Ray Heldenbrand
Masters Theses
"A method, called the higher mode synthesis method, for the solution of the two-dimensional neutron diffusion equation is developed. In this method, the two-dimensional eigenfunction is expanded in terms of one-dimensional fundamental and higher eigenfunctions. A substitute, weight, and integration procedure is applied and the two-dimensional equation is reduced to a one-dimensional equation in terms of expansion coefficients. The expansion coefficients are combined with the trial functions in order to obtain the two-dimensional eigenfunction. This procedure results in a significant reduction of computation time as compared with standard iteration methods"--Abstract, page ii.
