Multigroup diffusion theory calculations performed in connection with the fast power breeder reactor development program at Argonne are summarized. The problems investigated relate to: steady-state properties- longterm changes; reactivity coefficients associated with temperature changes; effectiveness of various control methods; evaluation of neutron lifetime; various methods of radial power flattening; various parametric studies to determine optimum design points; accuracy of diffusion theory for systems under consideration; and analysis of experimental results.
