Abstract
THE theory of the stochastic dynamics of a nuclear fission reactor has been formulated by Moore1. The present investigation is concerned with the measurement of time-dependent reactor parameters, using a spectral analysis technique and the formulation of both theory and experiment for the correlation analysis and measurement of spatially dependent reactor parameters.
