Kinetic effect of scattering neutrons on super-prompt critical system

A numerical simulation method is built based on the point reactor kinetic equations to study the impact of scattering neutrons on a super-prompt critical system, and its correctness is validated by pulse experiment on CFBR-Ⅱ reactor. The analysis and calculation show that kinetic effects of the scattered neutrons in the super-prompt critical state include that the reactivity increases, the pulse wave is broadened, and the fission yield is enlarged by scattering neutrons. The numerical simulation method can be used to forecast the kinetic effect of scattered neutrons produced by objects out of the pulse reactor, and it is valuable to upgrade the nuclear safety of a pulse reactor.
