Abstract

Abstract The reflected critical slab problem is investigated in one-speed neutron transport theory for reflecting boundary conditions. The neutron angular flux is expanded in a series of first kind Chebyshev polynomials and isotropic, backward and forward scattering kernel is used as the scattering function. The critical sizes for one-speed neutrons in a uniform finite slab surrounded by identical reflectors from both sides are calculated for various values of the collision parameter, backward and forward scattering and reflection coefficient. Numerical values calculated for the critical slab are presented in the tables and are found to be in good agreement with literature values.
