The different neutronic parameters have to be calculated with a higher accuracy in order to design the 4th generation reactor cores. As memory storage and computation...

Due to safety rules running on fourth generation reactors’ core development,neutronics simulation tools have to be as accurate as never before. First part of this...

Criticality Monte Carlo calculations aim at estimating the effective multiplication factor (k-effective) for a fissile system through iterations simulating neutrons...

This thesis focuses on mathematical analysis, numerical resolution and modelling of the transport equations.<br /> First of all, we deal with numerical...

For several years, Monte Carlo burnup/depletion codes have appeared, which couple Monte Carlo codes to simulate the neutron transport to deterministic methods, which...
