Abstract
The evolution of the reactor-antineutrino spectrum toward equilibrium above the inverse-beta-decay threshold during the reactor operating period and t he decay of residual D, radiation after reactor shutdown are considered. It is Found that,, under certain conditions, these processes can play a signi ficant role in experiments seeking neutrino oscillations. (C) 2001 MAIK "Na uka/Interperiodica".
