| description | This article presents a study
based on a series of numerical experiments. It demonstrates the possibility of
reducing fluctuations in the calculation of reactivity using the second
Bernoulli number based on the approximation of the Euler-Maclaurin formula.
This approach requires knowledge of the first three derivatives, which are
implemented progressively. The fluctuations are assumed to occur around an
average value of the neutron density with a Gaussian distribution. Jitter
reduction is performed with a first-order delayed low-pass filter for different
forms of neutron population density, with different time steps and with
different filter constants. The numerical results show that the method can be
used as a digital reactivity meter. |
