The distributions of neutron flux and void in an orificed core of a boiling water reactor are calculated analytically by use of the relation between void generation and power. The analytical method is described, and it is shown that comprehensive surveys of the nuclear and heat performance of a boiling water reactor are possible with little effort. As an example, the technique of making the void map is shown. An alternate method for this problem is also described.
