| Abstract | A two-dimensional perturbation theory computer code, PERT-IV, has been developed that will calculate reactivity coefficients, the delayed neutron fraction, and the neutron generation time. The program uses the output flux and adjoint flux from either a diffusion theory or transport theory program. A discussion and derivation of the perturbation equation and expressions for the effective neutron delayed fraction and the neutron generation time are given. In addition, the reactivity coefficients as calculated by diffusion perturbation theory and S[subscript N] transport theory are compared. The input flux and adjoint flux to PERT-IV can be taken directly from two-dimensional calculations or synthesized (by the code) from one-dimensional calculations. The code is compatible with the one-dimensional DTF-IV and two-dimensional 2DF transport theory codes from Los Alamos and the one-dimensional 1DX and two-dimensional 2DB diffusion theory codes from Battelle- Northwest. |
