A nonlinear diffusion theory model for xenon-induced flux oscillations

A nonlinear model is developed for the xenon induced flux oscillation problem that occurs in nuclear power plants. The model is based on Galerkins' method of weighted residuals applied to multigroup diffusion theory. A similar linear model is developed by the same methods in order to consider t...
