The Possibilities of Fission Material Reproduction Increase in Thermal Reactor with the Assemblies with a Hard Neutron Spectrum

الملخص EN

This paper addresses the problem of fission material reproduction increase in thermal reactors.

Reproduction increase is achieved while decreasing the fission material content in the fuel.

In that case, a decrease of neutron loss in construction materials and a neutron leakage decrease are required for obtaining reactor criticality.

Effectiveness of the reactor functioning can be increased by the use of additional neutron sources, for example, n-2n reaction in beryllium framing.

The possibility of additional neutron source development with the use of fast neutrons with an energy distribution close to the fission spectrum in the major part of thermal reactor core is researched in this paper.
