Abstract

This chapter introduces fundamental properties of the neutron. It covers reactions induced by neutrons, nuclear fission, slowing down of neutrons in infinite media, diffusion theory, the few-group approximation, point kinetics, and fission-product poisoning. It emphasizes the nuclear physics bases of reactor design and its relationship to reactor engineering problems.

The speed of neutrons in a reactor is sufficiently low that one can neglect relativistic effects therefore m = m₀, the neutron rest mass (1.6748 x 10-27 kg)

This effort was taken in place under contract by McDaniel and Zohuri in time period of 2001-2003 but never was a finished effort, although a lot of work was put into it and somewhat a new modified version NJOY with recoil capability was developed

One can calculate the total binding energy of a nucleus from the mass defect, Δm which is the difference between the mass of the bound nucleus and the sum of the masses of the nucleons, using Einstein’s equation E_bTotal=Δmc²
