Neutron Transport Theory and Simulation
Devoted to describing neutron movement in media and the corresponding laws, neutron transport theory is the research basis for transmutation and activation, radiation damage to materials, radiation dose, and biological safety, among other topics. There are two methods for neutron transport calculation: the Monte Carlo method (also called the probabilistic method or the stochastic method) and th...
متن کاملAnalytical Approaches for Solving Neutron Transport Problems
The exact solutions for stationary and non-stationary neutron transport equations corresponding to various source functions are presented. The semi-infinite medium is considered to have a specular-reflecting boundary with angular dependent externally-incident flux. Some adjustments were made to agree the neutron transport theory with astrophysical applications.
متن کاملHeliospheric Transport of Neutron-Decay Protons
We report on new simulations of the transport of energetic protons originating from the decay of energetic neutrons produced in solar flares. Because the neutrons are fast-moving but insensitive to the solar wind magnetic field, the decay protons are produced over a wide region of space, and they should be detectable by current instruments over a broad range of longitudes for many hours after a...
متن کاملCellular Automata Simulation of Neutron Transport
The development of a stochastic cellular automata model for low-density highly concentrated neutron sources is presented. The model was implemented for purely reflecting and absorbing media with no fission source. Results of numerical experiments for one benchmark case with the new model is compared to a traditional neutron diffusion calculation. Similarities and differences of the model with M...
متن کاملSome Outstanding Problems in Neutron Transport Computation
As more applications are required of the radiations (e.g., neutrons and photons), be it a nuclear reactor, shielding facility, or a radiation treatment apparatus, the demands on the capability and accuracy of design and analysis are increasing ever to a very high degree. One (perhaps the ultimate) task in designing such a nuclear system is to determine the distribution of the neutrons (and/or p...
