Goal(s)
The course introduces definitions and fundamentals concepts of the reactor physics which will allow later to develop the reactor theory, in particular the reactor neutron balance equations, the feedback effects, the reactor kinetics and dynamics behavior. The elements provides by this course should allow the student to understand the main neutronics phenomena occurring in a nuclear reactor and to make first order of value estimates of relevant neutronics parameters (e.g. neutron cross-sections).
