Abstract

Neutron energy spectra are computed for homogeneous reactors moderated by heavy water or by light water.The effects of chemical binding, of moderator motion, and of neutron absorption are considered.A formula is given for the temperature of the thermal region of the spectrum as a function of absorption and moderator temperature.
