Contents Introduction : General facts about nuclear energy -- Nuclear physics for neutron physicists -- Introduction to neutron physics -- Point kinetics -- Diffusion equation -- One-group/diffusion theory -- Neutron slowing down -- Resonant absorption of neutrons (physical aspects) -- Thermalisation of neutrons -- Multigroup theory -- Poisoning by fission products -- Fuel evolution (heavy nuclei) -- Temperature effects -- Boltzmann equation -- Theory of resonant absorption of neutrons -- Perturbation theory -- Overview of the "calculation scheme" -- Overview of core design problems -- Appendices.
Summary Because neutron physics is the essential part of reactor physics, it is the main subject taught to students of Nuclear Engineering. This book takes an instructional approach for that purpose. Neutron Physics is also intended for all physicists and engineers involved in development or operational aspects of nuclear power.
