Some lessons fro early student research
(Mistakes I have made)

Just Three of My Mistakes
• The undergraduate paper• Reactor kinetics ‘generation time’• Adjoint equations and ‘importance’

Reactor Kinetics Definitons• Neutron Production rate P• Neutron Removal rate R• Neutron Lifetime 1/R• Neutron Generation time 1/P• k effective P/R• k excess (P-R)/P• reactivity (P-R)/P• Delayed neutron production fraction

• Various elegant approximations but not ‘exact’
• Henri Smets and the Legendre transform solution for ramp and oscillatory reactivities requiring 1+I independent inverse integral transformations
• Thought:If it is there in transform space surely it must be there in real space?

• Various elegant approximations but not ‘exact’
• Henri Smets and the Legendre transform solution for ramp and oscillatory reactivities requiring 1+I independent inverse integral transformations
• Thought:If it is there in transform space surely it must be there in real space?
• Second thought: How about 1+I simultaneous first order equations?

• Thought:If it is there in transform space surely it must be there in real space?
• Second thought: How about 1+I simultaneous first order equations?
• It works!! Finite radius of convergence so solve for 1+I Dirac distributions and step out as far as wanted

Can non-natural bcs be represented through Dirac distributions as sources?

Write the non-natural boundary conditions as Dirac distributions ?
Develop a Dirac notation that has to be integrated normal to the boundary surface.
Try it on a simple heat conduction problem to see if it works in two dimensions?
