Parameters of a Pulsed Reactor for Pumping a Large-Size NPL

Resumo

The design of a fast pulsed reactor with a large axial cavity that can contain a multichannel laser module to generate high-power pulses of optical radiation is proposed and substantiated by calculations. The results of calculations of the reactor parameters, as well as those of displacements and tensions in its fuel rods, are provided. Preliminary conclusions concerning the procedure of generation of fission pulses in the proposed reactor are formulated.
