Description

Reactor Physics is a science to create rector and to play an important role in application to calculation science and safety evaluation. This feature articles contains topics, interested problems and development problems in the following field of reactor physics such as theory and experiment of reactor physics, core control, safety evaluation, criticality safety, accelerator driven subcritical reactor (ADS), new type reactor and evaluation of reactor physics. An original nuclear calculation method developed in Japan has been applied to design and analysis of fast breeder reactor. Interested problems are a proposal of fundamental principles of progressive reactor, development of calculation science, new knowledge by application of best estimate method to safety evaluation and investigation of complicated phenomena of criticality safety.

Abstract (Japanese)

原子炉物理学(炉物理)は、「原子力学」にとってどう役立っているのか、何がおもしろいのかを明らかにして炉物理の必要性、重要性を示す。 炉物理はそもそも原子炉を作り出した学問であり、最近、話題になっている革新炉、加速器駆動未臨界炉の基盤学問になっているだけでなく、計算科学への応用、安全評価の高精度化にも重要な役割を果たす幅広い学問である。本特集では、総論的な説明はせず、これらの幅広い炉物理のトピックスについて、おもしろい課題、今後の発展する課題について紹介する。第Ⅰ∼Ⅶ章に炉物理学の各分野のトピックスを示し、第Ⅷ章でそのまとめをし、炉物理とは何か、何がおもしろいかの答えを提示する。(日本)
