Nuclear Reactor Physics[h33t][shahaz]
Description:
Nuclear reactor physics is the physics of neutron fission chain reacting systems.
It encompasses those applications of nuclear physics and radiation transport
and interaction with matter that determine the behavior of nuclear reactors. As
such, it is both an applied physics discipline and the core discipline of the field
of nuclear engineering.
As a distinct applied physics discipline, nuclear reactor physics originated in
the middle of the twentieth century in the wartime convergence of international
physics efforts in the Manhattan Project. It developed vigorously for roughly
the next third of the century in various government, industrial, and university
R&D and design efforts worldwide. Nuclear reactor physics is now a relatively
mature discipline, in that the basic physical principles governing the behavior
of nuclear reactors are well understood, most of the basic nuclear data needed
for nuclear reactor analysis have been measured and evaluated, and the
computational methodology is highly developed and validated. It is now
possible to accurately predict the physics behavior of existing nuclear reactor
types under normal operating conditions. Moreover, the basic physical
concepts, nuclear data, and computational methodology needed to develop
an understanding of new variants of existing reactor types or of new reactor
types exist for the most part.
