Abstract
There is a very great bibliography concerning the mathematical theory of slowing down and diffusion of the neutrons within the moderating medium of an atomic fission pile. The methods used for such study must allow for the differences in the reactivity that take place in the reactors chiefly during the starting and because of the sinking and the prising of the control bars, so doing a quantitative scheme of the behaviour of the fast neutrons produced in the nuclear fission, to reach, by slowing in the moderating medium, the thermal energy.
