Abstract
The multi-group time-integro-differential equations of the neutron diffusion kinetics (IDE-NDK) was solved numerically in 2D Cartesian geometry with the use of the basic-progressive polynomial approximation (BPn). Two applications were computed: a ramp, and an instantaneous change of the thermal removal macroscopic cross sections of the driver material of the 2D-TWGL benchmark problems. The BP2 algorithm showed good accuracy when compared with the results of other codes. BPn did not show the undesirable oscillations that appeared in other codes.
