We present the newly obtained results of two computer simulations of the epithermal neutron-nuclear burning in natural uranium. Each of them modeled the period of six months of the traveling wave reactor (TWR) operation -- for two different flux densities of an external neutron source. The simulation results confirm the existence of a nuclear burning wave at longer time scales, and reveal the dependence of the wave burning modes on the parameters of an external neutron source.
