[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutron_transport Neutrons] generated in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_fusion fusion reactions] carry most of the fusion energy and interact with surrounding materials. In fusion systems, especially deuterium–tritium reactions, high-energy neutrons (about 14.1 MeV) are produced in large numbers. Their energy is deposited into surrounding materials through scattering and nuclear reactions. Neutronics analysis is therefore essential for predicting energy deposition, material damage, radiation shielding requirements, and tritium breeding performance. Understanding neutronics is a key aspect of designing safe, efficient, and sustainable fusion reactors.
