Abstract

Devoted to describing neutron movement in media and the corresponding laws, neutron transport theory is the research basis for transmutation and activation, radiation damage to materials, radiation dose, and biological safety, among other topics. There are two methods for neutron transport calculation: the Monte Carlo method (also called the probabilistic method or the stochastic method) and the deterministic method. This chapter introduces the basic principles of neutron interactions with matter, neutron transport theory, simulation methods and codes for fusion neutron transport calculations.
