Abstract
An improved method for monitoring the parameters of a nuclear core reactor, analyzing the monitored parameters using modified two neutron group diffusion equations that have been subjected to space-time factorization such that the factorized shape functions are approximated, and determining the core neutronics in constant time steps, for example, about 0.25 seconds, thereby to provide analysis and simulations in full range of core neutronics in real-time continuously.
