Description
In this work we use the coupled neutronics/multi-phase code FETCH to illustrate some of the physics behind the JCO criticality incident. More specifically we focus on the physics and the associated fission oscillations of the short term (seconds) criticality behaviour of the incident. This physics involves free surface waves and radiolytic gas bubble generation mechanisms. (author)
