Book Description
Studies of the effects resulting from exposure of materials to neutron bombardment in nuclear reactors can be made much more quantitative if the energy-level distribution of the neutrons is known. Such a distribution is commonly called a neutron spectrum. The neutron energies range from as low as 1 1010 MeV in the thermal-neutron region, to over 18 MeV in the fast region. This extremely wide range can be conveniently handled, however, using a system of 25 or even fewer groups each defining a precise energy range, with the neutron population within those energy bounds being tabulated as the neutron spectrum.
Elementary Reactor Physics
Author: P. J. GrantPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483181014
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 205
Book Description
Elementary Reactor Physics details the underlying principles that govern the physical processes taking place in a nuclear reactor core. The title tackles the various variables that contribute to the kinetic behavior of a nuclear reactor. The text first introduces the basic concepts of nuclear reactor kinetics, and then proceeds to tackling neutron and neutron cross-sections. Next, the selection covers neutron diffusion and the slowing down of neutrons. The text also covers both homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions, along with the effects of temperature and of fission products. The eighth chapter discusses long-term changes, while the last chapter tackles control rod calculations. The book will be of great use to students of degrees involved in dealing with various operational concerns in nuclear reactors.

The Theory of Neutron Slowing Down in Nuclear Reactors
Author: Joel H. FerzigerPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483154998
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 321
Book Description
The Theory of Neutron Slowing Down in Nuclear Reactors focuses on one facet of nuclear reactor design: the slowing down (or moderation) of neutrons from the high energies with which they are born in fission to the energies at which they are ultimately absorbed. In conjunction with the study of neutron moderation, calculations of reactor criticality are presented. A mathematical description of the slowing-down process is given, with particular emphasis on the problems encountered in the design of thermal reactors. This volume is comprised of four chapters and begins by considering the problems of neutron moderation and their importance in all types of reactors. An asymptotic reactor model is described, and the calculation of the elastic scattering frequency is explained. Subsequent chapters focus on the process of slowing down in finite and infinite medium by analyzing capture by individual resonances; resonance integrals in heterogeneous systems; the slowing-down kernels; the spherical harmonics method; statistical methods; and small source theory. The final chapter presents numerical solutions of the Boltzmann equation and covers topics such as the multigroup approach, group constants, and solution of the multigroup equations. This book will be a useful resource for nuclear physicists and engineers.
Physics of High-Temperature Reactors
Author: Luigi MassimoPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 1483280284
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 249
Book Description
Physics of High-Temperature Reactors focuses on the physics of high-temperature reactors (HTRs) and covers topics ranging from fuel cycles and refueling strategies to neutron cross-sections, transport and diffusion theory, and resonance absorption. Spectrum calculations and cross-section averaging are also discussed, along with the temperature coefficient and reactor control. Comprised of 16 chapters, this book begins with a general description of the HTR core as well as its performance limitations. The next chapter deals with general considerations about HTR physics, including quantities to be determined and optimized in the design of nuclear reactors. Potential scattering and resonance reactions between neutrons and atomic nuclei are then considered, together with basic aspects of transport and diffusion theory. Subsequent chapters explore methods for solving the diffusion equation; slowing-down and neutron thermalization in graphite; HTR core design, fuel management, and cost calculations; and core dynamics and accident analysis. The final chapter describes the sequence of reactor design calculations. This monograph is written primarily for students of HTR physics who are preparing to enter the field as well as technologists of other disciplines who are working on the system.
