an approximation to neutron transport treating neutron flow like diffusion down a flux gradient, used to find criticality and flux shape in reactor cores.

In reactor physics, neutron diffusion theory refers to an approximation to neutron transport treating neutron flow like diffusion down a flux gradient, used to find criticality and flux shape in reactor cores. This meaning comes from Duderstadt (1976) in Nuclear reactor analysis.[1]
