Zusammenfassung:Terrestrial gamma flash (TGF) and thunderstorm ground enhancements(TGE) phenomena are crucial for understanding of atmosphere breakdown and lightning generation physics. The initial theory was developed by Gurevich and included only runway breakdown description. It was later updated by Babich and Dwayer, but even updated models use a rather simplified field structure and do not fully explain observed quantities. The reactor like TGE (RL-TGE) model presented in this work assumes more complicated stochastic field structure and takes into account not only one cell runway breakdown, but the whole global field cellular structure in the thundercloud. It allows to describe a wide variety of TGF-like events and potentially fills the gap in thundercloud parameters previously unaccounted by other theories.
