Fundamentals of the Neutron Flux: Science, Technology and Applications is a unique reference which presents the study of nuclear science and engineering from the neutron flux perspective. It sharpens the reader?s ability to develop creative solutions to complex problems and design challenges, using analytics, simulations and practical examples. It guides the reader through the modelling and evaluation of the neutron flux using nuclear and computational tools, giving them a well-rounded understanding of the neutron flux fundamentals, analysis and applications. The inclusion of case studies and practical examples from a variety of types of nuclear reactor, and the inclusion of practical solutions, empowers the reader to make sound decisions using computational, experimental and analytical tools to design, analyze and characterize new and advanced nuclear systems.

This reference equips reactor designers and those working in innovative nuclear technologies with a solid understanding of the neutron flux and how it impacts on the design and operation of a nuclear power plant. It offers sounds guidance to those working and researching the neutron flux across a variety of disciplines, including submarine reactors and space generated neutrons.
