Assessment of the critical condition for the operation of an IBR reactor with a subcritical unit in an equilibrium mode

There considered a system consisting of a fast neutron batch pulsed IBR type reactor and a subcritical unit (neutronically thermal). The reactor is fitted with a reactivity modulator, which provides short-term “transfer” of the system from a deep subcritical to a prompt supercritical state and back....
