Relationship Between Neutron Flux and Reactor Power
In an operating reactor the volume of the reactor is constant. Over a relatively short period of time (days or weeks), the number density of the fuel atoms is also relatively constant. Since the atom density and microscopic cross section are constant, the macroscopic cross section must also be constant. It is apparent that if the reactor volume and macroscopic cross section are constant, then the reactor power and the neutron flux are directly proportional. This is true for day-to-day operation. The neutron flux for a given power level will increase very slowly over a period of months due to the burnup of the fuel and resulting decrease in atom density and macroscopic cross section.
