151-0166-00LSpecial Topics in Reactor Physics4 KP3GR. Chawla, P. Grimm, K. Mikityuk, S. Pelloni, A. Vasiliev
KurzbeschreibungReactor physics calculations for assessing the performance and safety of nuclear power plants are, in practice, carried out using large computer codes simulating different key phenomena. This course builds on the introductory neutronics course for Nuclear Engineering students and provides a basis for understanding state-of-the-art calculational methodologies in the above context.
LernzielStudents are introduced to advanced aspects of neutronics analysis, radiation transport calculations and reactor dynamics, in the context of current-day and future nuclear power plant systems.
InhaltNeutron transport theory and light water reactor (LWR) lattice calculations. LWR core modeling. Reactor shielding. Fast reactor neutronics and Perturbation theory. Multi-physics, coupled calculations for reactor dynamics. Generation IV fast reactor systems. Plutonium management in LWRs. Neutronics experiments for reactor physics code validation.
SkriptHand-outs will be distributed
LiteraturChapters from various text books on Reactor Theory, Fast Reactors, etc.
