Numerical methods used for the solution of the Boltzmann neutron transport equation, the basic starting point in the design of reactor systems, are now being applied to a much greater variety of problems dealing with the physics of transport phenomena. While the immediate and by far the most important area of application of these methods is in reactor technology, such methods are finding increasing use in such fields as the physics of planetary atmospheres and plasmas. In reactor physics, recent developments in numerical techniques plus the availability of more powerful computers have enabled reactor systems of high complexity to be solved with unprecedented accuracy and efficiency. This seminar was organized by the IAEA and was intended to give the opportunity to review the state of the art in the field in the light of current engineering requirements in reactor design and operation. in this connection, a panel of eight specialists discussed the question of outstanding problems and prospects for future developments. The seminar was devoted to five main topics: transport theory methods; integral transport theory methods; calculational tecniques based on diffusion theory; synthesis methods and time-dependent problems; and developments in Monte Carlo. The proceedings include 47 papers, a summary report of highlights of the seminar, and a record of the panel discussion.
