محاسبه عوامل واکنش پذیری و ضریب توان وابسته به محل منبع بیرونی

We used the neutron diffusion equation with external neutron sources, in cartesian geometry and the two groups of energy, to verify the influence of external neutron source locations in the calculation of reactivity and power factors. To this end, the Coarse Mesh Finite Difference (CMFD) method was applied to the adjoint flux calculation and to simplify reactivity calculation in PWR type reactor, using the output of the Nodal Expansion Method (NEM). Different locations on the two-dimensional plane, as well as different types of fuel elements in the reactor core were used in the present study.
