interpretation of the net currentJ = j d 2 Ω is then an easy exercise, as is the interpretation of the MCNP F1 tally |nˆ · j| d 2 Ω d 2 r. The angular flux ψ(r, Ω) ˆ can be presented as the magnitude of the angular current, and in thisregard it can be interpreted as rate of flow across a surface that is perpendicular to Ω. ˆ But thereis no value in emphasizing this. It confuses flux with flow across a surface, a connection thathas little utility. The scalar flux φ = 4π ψ d 2 Ω is introduced as a definition, as is the net currentJ, and the point that neither can be generally computed from the other is made. In other words,once direction information is integrated away, the connection between current-like and flux-likequantities is broken. The

some institutions, thisauthor found that no up-to-date text – one that draws upon very recent work by theAdvanced Fuel Cycle Initiative, Global Nuclear Energy Partnership, Organization forEconomic Cooperation and Development (OECD) Nuclear Energy Agency and others –is available. Therefore, a curriculum that draws upon recent works by these programsand agencies, using their publications in lieu of a textbook, was prepared. An extensivebibliography of these papers and reports is presented.Objectives and Approach Page 12.99.2The course objective was conveyed to the students via the following text, which appearedon one of the first slides presented: Many
