The Editors take pleasure in presenting a further vol ume in their
Annual Review Series. The present volume con tains six papers that
may be said to span from the theory of design to the practice of
operation of modern nuclear power stations, therefore concentrating
on nuclear energy as a source of electrical power. Starting with
the most mathem atical, and proceeding in the direction of
technology, we have the Chudley and Brough account of a new
interpretation of (linear) Boltzmann transport theory in terms of
the characteristic or ray approach. This seems to be new in
application here, but of course the method is the child of many
classical studies in the solution of partial differen tial
equations and proves to remarkably well-suited to modern computers
and their numerical bases. We might put the article by Dickson and
Doncals on the design of heterogeneous cores next, with its
significance for fast reactors of the future. The various "central
worth" discrepancies, with their implication for safety and relia
bility founded on, inter alia, the Doppler effect, have made this a
major area for resolution: to see that we can develop design
methods and codes that will reconcile theory and exper, . . . iment
to the point at which theoretical designs could be accepted for
building without the need for a full-scale mock up, as had to be
done in the 1950's for the light water re actors."
