Description

This lecture delves into the diffusion of neutrons, exploring the physical significance of the diffusion area and its application to reactor design. The instructor covers the derivation of critical system size, the impact of reflectors on neutron behavior, and the concept of reflector savings. Through analytical solutions to the diffusion equation, the lecture highlights the importance of reflectors in reducing reactor size and enhancing neutron scattering back into the system.
