Description

Neutron kinetics of nuclear burning wave in moving incompressible neutron-multiplying medium in the presence of nuclear reactions is developed. A cylindrical reactor is considered, where the burning wave moves radially from the reactor axis, and fuel moves towards the axis. It was shown that when feeding such a system with 238U standing wave of nuclear burning might exist. A comparison of theoretical results with simulation data is made using MCNPX code.
