Core Neutronics

Core Neutronics is a fundamental discipline within reactor core design that specifically characterizes the spatial and temporal behavior of neutron populations in a nuclear reactor core, distinguishing itself by focusing on the physics of neutron transport, multiplication, and energy-dependent interactions essential for achieving and controlling sustained fission chain reactions.
