In an earlier communication we discussed the measurement of subcritical reactivity utilizing reactor noise where all delayed neutrons were lumped into a single equivalent group. The analysis has now been refined in a manner to include all delayed-neutron groups and a different relation exists between subcritical reactivity and experimentally measurable quantities.
