Abstract

A few numerical methods that usually used to solve neutron transport equation in nuclear reactor are SN dan PN method, Monte Carlo, Collision Probability and Methods of Characteristics . First two methods have been developed using diffusion approach, and last three methods suitable are applicated for transport approximation. Those of three methods have important role in the desain of nuclear reactors. In addition to follow the development of advanced reactor designs, the three methods were chosen because they do not use diffusion approach these are more accurate methods, as well as less need considerable computer memory. Of all the existing methods, the CP method has several advantages among the others. Keywords : Neutron transport, SN, PN, CP, MOC, MC
