The result of extrapolation is very important to the physical start-up,and it is used to control the speed and quantity of the reactivity.Using the neutron multiplication formula for active and sub-critical condition,the non-balance situation of neutron counts,the dilution,and the lifting of banks are analyzed.The results show that the delayed effect of dilution,the non-linearity of the integral worth of the control rods,and the non-linear increase of the flux have great effects on the accuracy of the extrapolation.We consider those effects and give some advices on the modification of the extrapolation.
