What is The Physics of Nuclear Reactors about?
This comprehensive volume offers readers a progressive and highly detailed introduction to the complex behavior of neutrons in general, and in the context of nuclear power generation. A compendium and handbook for nuclear engineers, a source of teaching material for academic lecturers as well as a graduate text for advanced students and other non-experts wishing to enter this field, it is based on the author{u2019}s teaching and research experience and his recognized expertise in nuclear safety. After recapping a number of points in nuclear physics, placing the theoretical notions in their historical context, the book successively reveals the latest quantitative theories concerning: {u2022} The slowing-down of neutrons in matter {u2022} The charged particles and electromagnetic rays {u2022} The calculation scheme, especially the simplification hypothesis {u2022} The concept of criticality based on chain reactions {u2022} The theory of homogeneous and heterogeneous reactors {u2022} The problem of self-shielding {u2022} The theory of the nuclear reflector, a subject largely ignored in literature {u2022} The computational methods in transport and diffusion theories Complemented by mor
