Nuclear reactor theory

Presented is the first manual of nuclear reactor theory written in accordance with the program of the course, have been delivered at the Moscow engineering physical institute since 1972. The problems connected with the critical reactor state (in one-group, age-theory and multi-group approximations), changes of isotopic content, reproduction of new fuel kind, slugging, as well as the calculation of neutron-absorbing control rods are set forth in the volume. Much attention has been paid to the heterogeneous reactor theory (in particular, the resonance capture theory). The manual is intended for students and post-graduates specializing in the area of nuclear power industry
