Expected Value of Finite Fission Chain Lengths of Pulse Reactors

    Graphical Abstract
    • Abstract
  • The average neutron population necessary for sponsoring a persistent fission chain in a multiplying system, is discussed. In the point reactor model, the probability function (n, t0, t) of a source neutron at time t0 leading to n neutrons at time t is dealt with. The nonlinear partial differential equation for the probability generating function G(z; t0, t) is derived. By solving the equation, we have obtained an approximate analytic solution for a slightly prompt supercritical system. For the pulse reactor GodivaⅡ, the mean value of finite fission chain lengths is estimated in this work and shows that the estimated value is reasonable for the experimental analysis.
