This lecture delves into neutron correlation for nuclear safety, exploring the development of multicolor codes for criticality safety and high-performance computing clusters. The instructor explains the link between neutron detections, the fission process, and the importance of accurate nuclear data for simulations. Various methods for assessing neutron noise, such as time correlation and special correlation, are discussed. The lecture also covers the challenges of modeling cluster effects in reactors and the impact of intrinsic sources on reactor stability.
