Nuclear Physics and Reactor Theory

Abstract

Nuclear physics and reactor theory was developed to assist nuclear facility operating contractors in providing operators, maintenance personnel, and the technical staff with the necessary fundamentals training to ensure a basic understanding of nuclear physics and reactor theory. The presentation includes information on atomic and nuclear physics; neutron characteristics; reactor theory and nuclear parameters; and the theory of reactor operation. This information will provide personnel with a foundation for understanding the scientific principles that are associated with various DOE nuclear facility operations and maintenance. The aim of this presentation was to talk about nuclear physics and reactor theory, the work consist of 156 slides with is divided into 9 topics and each is related to one another.
