3. NATURE OF PHYSICAL PROBLEM SOLVED

Determination of gas-cooled fast  reactor core proportions required to satisfy specified design constraints and computation of resulting performance characteristics.
[ top ]
4. METHOD OF SOLUTION

Combination of heat transfer, flow and geometrical relationships with imposed design requirements and nuclear data supplied as input in the form of the necessary fuel volume fraction and fissile density.
