Alternative Title: Neutron Science and Reactor Physics
Author: Bernard, John A.
Date Issued: 2006-12
Abstract:
This course introduces fundamental properties of the neutron. It covers reactions induced by neutrons, nuclear fission, slowing down of neutrons in infinite media, diffusion theory, the few-group approximation, point kinetics, and fission-product poisoning. We emphasize the nuclear physics basis of reactor design and its relationship to reactor engineering problems.
