Applied Reactor Physics - Third Edition

Reactor physics is the discipline devoted to the study of interactions between
neutrons and matter in a nuclear reactor. This third edition of Applied
Reactor Physics, addresses the fundamentals of reactor physics. Legacy
numerical techniques are introduced with sufficient details to help readers
implement them in Matlab. The fundamental approaches presented here provide a
solid foundation for the more advanced and proprietary techniques that readers
may encounter in production environments. Applied Reactor Physics emphasizes
the algorithmic nature of the numerical solution techniques used in reactor
physics. Many numerical solution 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 end-of-chapter exercises.
The third edition includes key improvements in the text, a completely
rewritten appendix on numerical methods, new end-of-chapter exercises, and an
extended bibliography.
