Transport-theory-equivalent diffusion coefficients for node-homogenized neutron diffusion problems in CANDU lattices

Calculation of the neutron flux in a nuclear reactor core is ideally performed by solving the neutron transport equation for a detailed-geometry model using several tens of energy groups. However, performing such detailed calculations for an entire core is prohibitively expensive from a computationa...
