To facilitate the understanding on the nuclear reactors, explanatory lectures are given on the neutron behavior and fission reactions in English.
This class aims the understanding of fundamental theory of nuclear fission chain by neutrons and nuclear transmutations, which is a fundamental principal of nuclear reactors.

5.The One-Speed Diffusion Model of a Nuclear Reactor(1)
6.The One-Speed Diffusion Model of a Nuclear Reactor(2)
7.Multigroup Diffusion Theory
8.Perturbation theory
9.Nuclear Reactor Kinetics
10.Neutron Spectrum (1) Neutron Slowing Down in Infinite Medium
11.Neutron Spectrum (2) Resonance Absorption
12.Neutron Spectrum (3) Neutron Slowing Down and Diffusion and Heteroginious Effect
13.Core Burnup (1) Effect of Fission Products
