Abstract
Calculations have been performed on the asymptotic angular neutron flux, critical thickness and extrapolation distance in the axial direction for a cylindrical system of finite length. Neutrons are assumed to be monoenergetic. Applying the finite Laplace transformation in the axial direction and buckling approximation in the radial, we find a solution of the transport equation that satisfies the boundary conditions of no incoming neutron and symmetry. This method is an extension of Kobayashi's Laplace transform method for slab problem, and may easily be applied to other geometries. For a rectangular prism system, numerical results based on our method are compared with results from P3-approximation.
