AbstractAbstract
[en] The quasistatic approximation is incorporated in HEXKIN, a 2-group, 2-dimensional reactor kinetics code specially developed for a hexagonal lattice-type reactor. The code allows maximum 15 delayed neutron groups, 279 lattice points, and 500 different driving functions to be able to initiate perturbation at each lattice point. Reactivity feedback due to power-dependent fuel temperature change is also involved. To check the accuracy of the code, a result of numerical experiment is compared with the measurement at the Savannah River Laboratory. The experiment was specifically designed to emphasize delayed neutron holdback. The calculated flux tilts agree with the measured flux tilts within the small uncertainty of the measurements. (author)
