Neutron Source Terms

Neutron Source Terms is a theoretical construct in nuclear engineering that specifies the spatial, temporal, and energetic distribution of neutrons emitted from an artificial or natural source within a defined medium, distinguishing it from general radiation source models by its exclusive focus on neutron emission characteristics and flux initialization in reactor physics and shielding analyses.
