Two group perturbation theory of thermal reactors is reviewed and tables of fluxes, adjoint fluxes, arbitrary coefficients, and computation constants are given. A general reactivity formula in matrix notation is derived, and integrals needed in the evaluation of perturbations in the core and reflector are tabulated. The special problem of a reflector void of constant cross-sectional area is also considered.
