一、課程說明(Course Description)
This is an advanced course under the topic of reactor physics and analysis. Basic concepts
associated with the fission chain reactions will be reviewed. As a major objective of this
course,
students have to understand the developments of the neutron transport equations and the one-
speed diffusion theory of a nuclear reactor. The established knowledge will be applied to derive
the multigroup diffusion model and to investigate the heterogeneous effects that are
considered in practical reactor design.
