This lecture covers the basics of nuclear reactors, including nuclear fission, neutron diffusion, multigroup theory, and neutron kinetics. The instructor explains the derivation of multi-group diffusion equations and the k-eigenvalue problem. Various numerical methods for solving the neutron diffusion equation are discussed, along with the energy group structure and group constants.
