Description

The pulsed problem for fast neutrons in 7Li, 6Li and natural Li has been studied using the multigroup diffusion equation. The time-dependent energy spectra are obtained using the eigenfunction method. The time-variation of the tritium production rate has been studied and the values of the total (time-integrated) tritium breeding ratio have been given for three assembly sizes: 1, 0.75 and 0.5 m3. Also, the energy variation of the mean slowing down time has been studied. The results have been obtained using the 27-group BARC-data-set. (author)
