ABSTRACT:  In this work, we present a linear programming-based methodology to determine the minimum intensity that a neutron source distribution must have to drive a subcritical system to a prescribed power distribution. The neutron source distribution simulates the neutrons produced by spallation events in an accelerator-driven subcritical core. Numerical results are given to illustrate that the offered methodology applied can be used as the initial step of a supplementary computational tool to be used in the design of subcritical nuclear reactors.
