Bibliography

Most books on transport theory are quite old. Some numerical methods are thus somewhat obsolete, but the physics and the mathematics still hold.

The must

• G. I. Bell and S. Glasstone, "Nuclear Reactor Theory", Van Nostrand Reinhold Company (1970).  My favorite.  Not everything is in here, but what is in here is always inspiring.

• J. J. Duderstadt and L. J. Hamilton, "Nuclear Reactor Analysis", Wiley (1974).  I followed their outline as the most pedagogical.

• P. Reuss, "Neutron Physics", EDP Sciences (2008).  My student's textbook.  This is actually the English translation of "Precis de Neutronique" of 2002.

The optional

(In reverse chronological order)

• S. Marguet, "La Physique des Réacteurs Nucléaires", Lavoisier (2017).  Everything you wanted to know, and more.

• A. Hébert, "Applied Reactor Physics", Presses internationales Polytechnique (2009).  The exercises are in matlab.

• J. J. Duderstadt and W. R. Martin, "Transport Theory", Wiley-Interscience (1979).  Not just neutrons.

The specific

• K. M. Case and P. F. Zweifel, "Linear Transport Theory", Addison-Wesley (1967).  Caseology fully explained: how to analytically solve the transport equation for infinite and semi-infinite (planar) systems.
