A Multi-Point Kinetics Model Applied to Three-Dimensional Neutronic Transient Analysis

Abstract

A computer code for solving the three-dimensional reactor neutronic transient problems by a coupled reactor kinetics method recently derived has been developed and for evaluating its applicability applied to 3-D kinetic benchmark. problems. The performance of the method and code has been compared with the results by the computer codes employing the direct fine and coarse mesh methods.
