Actions for Effects of (n,2n) and (n,alpha) Reactions of Beryllium in a Reactor with Beryllia; EFFETS DES REACTIONS (n,2n) ET (n,alpha) DU BERYLLIUM DANS IN REACTEUR A GLUCINE
Effects of (n,2n) and (n,alpha) Reactions of Beryllium in a Reactor with Beryllia; EFFETS DES REACTIONS (n,2n) ET (n,alpha) DU BERYLLIUM DANS IN REACTEUR A GLUCINE
Thc abnormally high value of the lapliician of a beryllium oxide-- natural uranlum lattice can perhaps be , caused by secondary neutron reactions in the beryllium oxide. An attempt is made to establish thc effect of these rcactions in a bofryllia reactor. The cquations for the neutron balance of the sccondary reactions are derlved and evaluatcd. The results are applied to the case of a reactor with a heterogeneous medium. (J.S.R.)
