Nuclear Reactor Physics (Phyys 488)

  Neutron reactions: cross-sections, attenuation,
reaction rate, fission cross-section.
- Nuclear fission, fission yield, Energy
distribution among fission neutrons and
fragments, re-production factor.
-Thermal neutrons: energy distribution, effective
cross section, moderation, average energy loss,
Average energy logarithmic decrement, SDP,
MR and resonance escape probability.
-The Nuclear chain reaction: neutron cycle,
thermal utilization factor and calculating the four
factors formula.
