Neutron and Neutron-Breeding Medium Interaction Process Description Within the Physical Birth-and-Death Model

T. N. Korbut, M. V. Bobkova, E. A. Rudak, and I. A. Zubets

Analytic methods for nuclear reactor physics problems are still of current interest. They allow the physical interpretation to be obtained for studied processes within simple mathematical apparatus. This work proposes a new approach of neutron and neutronbreeding medium interaction process description based on birth-and-death model. This approach was named the physical birth-and-death model. The equations for the main kinetic characteristic are presented and reactivity values are estimated for two subcritical nuclear assemblies: MASURCA and KUCA.

Key words: physical birth-and-death model, analytic method, neutron and neutron-breeding medium interaction process, ADS-system
