Applied reactor physics (2nd edition)

Reactor physics is the discipline devoted to the study of interactions between neutrons and matt er in a nuclear reactor. In Applied Reactor Physics, reactor physics is approached from the fundamental level. Legacy numerical techniques are introduced with suffi cient details to permit their implementati on in Matlab. More advanced and/or proprietary techniques may be available in a producti on environment, but these can be obtained as evoluti ons of the fundamental approaches presented in the book.A characteristic of Applied Reactor Physics is to emphasize the algorithmic nature of numerical solution techniques used in reactor physics. Many numerical soluti on approaches described in the book are accompanied by Matlab scripts and readers are encouraged to write short Matlab scripts of their own in order to solve the Endof-Chapter exercises.
