Nuclear Reactors Physics Design And Safety Proceedings Of The Workshop

The lectures reported in these proceedings were given in the Workshop on Nuclear Reactors — Physics, Design and Safety held at the International Centre for Theoretical Physics in Trieste in 1994 by experts from leading international research institutions and industries. They have been organized in a self-consistent form with the objective of giving basic, up-dated information to scientists and engineers from developing countries in modern methods for the computation and analysis of nuclear reactors, with particular emphasis on reactor physics, design and safety.

This volume provides the up-to-date information behind nuclear reactor calculations, focusing on a key role of nuclear reaction data, down to the physics of nuclear interactions. It is divided into three parts. Part 1 deals with nuclear reaction models, including neutron resonances, fission, the optical model, statistical and preequilibrium models as well as nuclear level densities. Part 2 is devoted to nuclear data filling and processing; it includes lectures on nuclear data evaluation and formatting, data libraries and services, with emphasis on nuclear-data-processing codes. Part 3 presents applications in nuclear reactor calculations, emphasizing physics, design and safety.
