Goal(s)

This course provides an introduction to reactor kinetics and dynamics. The main goal is to offer the theoretical foundations required to understand the neutron behavior of a reactor: (a) short-term, during normal or accidental transients, and (b) medium-term, during continuous reactor operation. This course is taught in French.
