9.1 PRELIMINARIES
The most important practical application of the theory of neutron fluctuations is to utilise the information in the distribution of the number of neutrons or the detector counts, or in their lower order moments, to get information about the system. One type of information sought is the multiplication properties of reactor cores, such as the margin to criticality, expressed by the multiplication factor or the reactivity, as in the case ...
