[en] 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.
