Why is it important?
Nuclear reactors are becoming more common, but at the same time safety is always a concern. Nuclear reactors are not only used for energy production, but also in research and in radio-pharmacy.
Perspectives
This was the first paper published by Matheus Tunes in my group, a very bright young scientist, who is shinning in UK and USA now.
