Neutron Diffusion Equation: Numerical Methods

Description

This lecture covers numerical methods for solving the neutron diffusion equation, including finite difference formulation and dealing with the neutron source. It discusses the explicit k-eigenvalue problem, power iteration scheme, and the numerical solution to a 1D/2G slab reactor. The lecture also addresses the determination of group constants, energy self-shielding, and heterogeneous effects in thermal reactors.
