Abstract An expression is obtained for the probability of avoiding leakage in reactors with uniform energy evolution. From an analysis of this probability, together with the Fourier components of the experimental slowing-down function and the slowing-down functions of various diffusion models for ordinary water, it is concluded that the single group model is fairly accurate forthe calculation of active zones conraining not less than 10 liters of water. Increasing the number of energy groups without going over to nondiffusion theory lowers the precision.
