Description
This book presents a balanced overview of the major methods currently available for obtaining numerical solutions in neutron and gamma-ray transport. It focuses on methods particularly applicable to the complex problems encountered in the analysis of reactors, fusion devices, radiation shielding, and other nuclear systems. It is valuable as a self-contained reference and text to practicing engineers involved in research and development, to users of large transport computer codes for engineering analysis, and to first-year graduate students.
