Neutron Kinetics: Reactivity and Reactor Dynamics

Explores reactivity equations, stable reactor periods, and the impact of reactivity variations on reactor safety.

Explores burnup algorithms, time-step discretization, LWR fuel evolution, spent fuel composition, refueling techniques, and boric acid control in PWRs.

Nuclear fission: Energy Release and Fission Fragments

Explores energy release from fission, fuel burnup, and fission fragments yields and decay in a nuclear reactor.

Nuclear Reactor Kinetics

Explores the dynamics of nuclear reactors, focusing on isotopic effects and safety implications.

Neutronics Effects of Burnup

Explores the impact of burnup on neutronics in nuclear reactors, focusing on fissioning isotopes and fission product poisons.
