Description

The seminar will address the following topics:

  • Basic concepts of reactor physics: keff, eff, reactivity coefficients…
  • Role of nuclear data in reactor physics calculations.
  • Impact of nuclear data and uncertainties in reactor safety parameters and inventory calculations (criticality safety).
  • Status of actual nuclear data libraries for nuclear reactor applications: strengths and weaknesses.
