On the topology of linear and nonlinear reactor kinetics

Selected aspects of linear and nonlinear nuclear reactor kinetics are examined by general topological methods. It is shown that for the case of power-law intrinsic reactivity feedback, unforced autonomous rapid dynamics do not display cyclic components and that the nominal operating state is not uni...

Description
Summary:Selected aspects of linear and nonlinear nuclear reactor kinetics are examined by general topological methods. It is shown that for the case of power-law intrinsic reactivity feedback, unforced autonomous rapid dynamics do not display cyclic components and that the nominal operating state is not unique.
