Description
A formalism developed by Benoist, to calculate the neutron leakage in a voided fast reactor lattice, was modified and simplified using analytic chord length distributions. The new method (computer routine ARIADNE) allows for a rapid calculation of buckling-dependent anisotropic cell diffusion coefficients for voided periodic lattices with adequate accuracy. They can be used in subsequent whole core diffusion calculations. Results are compared with Monte Carlo calculations carried out at Argonne National Laboratory, and with results from other authors. The method is then applied to a calculation of the streaming reactivity for the voided lattice of SNR-300
