Dynamics of Nuclear Reactors - Tapa dura

Bridging the gap between the view of the reactor physicist and that of the control engineer, this text gives particular attention to lumped-parameter dynamic equations, or the point-reactor model, though careful attention is paid to the derivation of this model from neutron diffusion and transport theory. The reader is brought up to date in the field of space-dependent effects, and the dynamics of large reactors, pulsed neutron techniques, and a brief introduction to neutron waves are included as examples.
