Resonance Self-Shielding Calculation Methods in Nuclear Reactors - Woodhead Publishing Series in Energy Cao, Liangzhi (Professor, School of Nuclear Science and Technology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, People's Republic of China)

Resonance Self-Shielding Calculation Methods in Nuclear Reactors presents the latest progress in resonance self-shielding methods for both deterministic and Mote Carlo methods. The authoritative author team combine their wealth of experience to provide the reader with practical guidance on various theoretical models and numerical results which the reader can use to develop their own computational codes and perform their own successful calculations. For each method included, the basic idea is introduced, followed by the numerical methods and a presentation of the algorithm and numerical results, along with relevant calculations. Key topics which have advanced over the last decade which are covered in this resource include high-fidelity resonance treatment, resonance interference effect and multi-group equivalence.

The demand for high-fidelity resonance self-shielding treatment is increasing due to the rapid development of the advanced nuclear reactor concepts and the progression in high performance computational technologies. This practical book guides students and professionals in nuclear engineering and technology through various methods with proven high precision and efficiency, which will equip them with valuable expertise to transfer to their own calculations and models.
