Neutron Transport Calculation
Neutron transport calculation is a computational method for determining the distribution and behavior of neutrons in a nuclear medium, developed during the Manhattan Project in the 1940s. It solves the Boltzmann transport equation to predict neutron flux, energy spectra, and reaction rates essential for reactor design and shielding analysis.
