Description

We examine the main aspects of the construction of subcritical systems able to multiply neutrons from the external source with emphasis on the choice of the neutron and optimization of the parameters of the subcritical system. We present results of our calculations of neutron flux amplification factor for the one-zone spherical systems made up of the enriched uranium, water solution of the enriched uranium, and for the spherical enriched uranium system with reflector
