Reactor Core Neutronics

Reactor Core Neutronics is a theoretical and computational discipline within nuclear engineering that specifically models and analyzes the spatial and energy-dependent behavior of neutrons in a reactor core, distinguished by its focus on neutron transport, diffusion, and interaction dynamics essential for core design, criticality, and operational safety.
