Description
An efficient low-order coarse-mesh method for LWR criticality problems, which allows for fast routine computations as well as for more accurate, but still inexpensive, reference solutions, is presented. The efficiency of the method rests upon a very simple nodal flux expansion formula and an improved scheme for outer iterations, coupled with a fast ADI technique. (author)
