Developments in the Physics of Nuclear Power Reactors: Technical Reports Series No. 143
The reactor physicst must resist the tendency to become so immersed in day-to-day problems as to lose sight of the overall role of reactor physics. It is his responsibility to form an independent opinion of the overall requirements of a project with respect to reactor physics and to try to make sure they are met.
The rest of this presentation gives a general picture of the areas in which reactor physics has a role and some indication of the way in which this role can be successfully played. Many of these areas will be treated in detail elsewhere in this look.
