| Abstract: | An experimental determination of the reduced prompt neutron generation time LAMBDA / BETA in the Spert IV reactor utilizing a technique based on the statistical behavior of the neutron population is described. A mathematical model including the effects of delayed neutrons that relates the statistic variance-to-mean ratio of the count rate as a function of counting time'' to integral reactor parameters is derived. This model is used in conjunction with subcritical counting measurements from the Spert IV reactor to provide a value of LAMBDA / BETA that is in good agreement with an independent measurement obtained from super promptcritical excursion experiments.
