Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the Los Alamos Coupled Reactor Experiment, some oscillatory deviations from the expected monotonic increase were observed in the rising portion of the passive core neutron density response. In the present study, a generalized multigroup point kinetics model is employed to analyze the experiment. Several approximations with respect to the number of energy groups, the existence of a reflector, and the between-core neutron distribution function were studied. For some approximations, anomalies similar to those experimentally noticed were observed in the passive core response.
