Transient analysis of a subcritical reactor core with a MOX-Fuel using the birth-and-death model

The operation of the nuclear reactor requires accurate and fast methods and techniques for analysing its kinetics. These techniques become even more important when the MOX-fuel is used due to the lower value of delayed neutron fraction β for 239Pu. Based on a Birth-and-Death process review, the math...
