授業の目標 Course Objectives
Nuclear fission processes taking place in a nuclear reactor can be described mathematically by the Boltzmann neutron transport equation. The
nuclear reactor theory is a theoretical system for designing nuclear reactors and enables us to solve the transport equation with a limited
calculation resource of computers by introducing various and bold simplifications and approximations based on physical insights. The objectives
of the course are to learn a general theoretical outline of the nuclear reactor theory.
到達目標 Course Goals
The course goals are (1) to learn essential theoretical backbones (i.e., simplifications and approximations) supporting the nuclear reactor theory
through a derivation process of neutron diffusion equation form the Boltzmann neutron transport equation, (2) to learn numerical analysis methods
for solving the neutron diffusion equation, and (3) to enhance numerical analysis skills through developing self-made numerical analysis codes.
