  • Abstract
    In a nuclear power plant, the neutron diffusion equations are simulated in order to obtain information about unknown states of the nuclear reactor. One way to solve these nonlinear partial differential equations numerically is to use the wave digital concept. It is based on a reference circuit representing the neutron diffusion equations. The electrical circuits derived here deliver insight into the physical nature from an electrical point of view.
