Methods for calculating coupled reactor systems

Theoretical approaches to analyzing neutron kinetics in coupled reactor systems are reviewed. A systematic exposition of methods based on the use of integral parameters and an integral equation decribing neutron transport with the energy and angular variables eliminated is given. Special attention is given to a reactor-subcritical assembly as a coupled system.Translated from Atomnaya Énergiya, Vol. 97, No. 6, pp. 403–414, December, 2004.This revised version was published online in April 2005 with a corrected cover date.
