Description: Resonance Self-Shielding Calculation Methods in Nuclear Reactors presents the latest progress in resonance self-shielding methods for both deterministic and Mote Carlo methods, including key advances over the last decade such as high-fidelity resonance treatment, resonance interference effect and multi-group equivalence. As the demand for high-fidelity resonance self-shielding treatment is increasing due to the rapid development of advanced nuclear reactor concepts and progression in high performance computational technologies, this practical book guides students and professionals in nuclear engineering and technology through various methods with proven high precision and efficiency.
Brief description: Prof. Hongchun Wu is one of the most leading professors in reactor physics community in China. He received his PhD in 1994 from XJTU, became a full professor of XJTU in 2001. He is the committee member of Chinese Nuclear Society (CNS) and the Chief Scientist of China's 863 Project. He also serves as the member of the Subject Consultative Group of the State Council, the academic committee member of the National-level Key Laboratory for Reactor-system Design. Prof. Wu is now leading several key research projects funded by the Minister of Science and Technology of China and Natural Science Foundation of China. Prof. Wu has been focusing on the deterministic transport-calculation methods for several decades, authored more than 100 journal papers, co-authored a book, graduated 30 PhD students and 45 Master students in reactor physics.
