#### Abstract

We analyse $a\ posteriori$ error estimates for the discretization of the neutron diffusion equations with mixed finite elements. We provide guaranteed and locally efficient estimators on a base block equation, the one-group neutron diffusion equation. We pay particular attention to AMR strategies on Cartesian meshes, since such structures are common for nuclear reactor core applications. We exhibit a robust marker strategy for this specific constraint, the $direction\ marker$ strategy. The approach is further extended to a Domain Decomposition Method, the so-called DD+$L^2$ jumps method, as well as to the multigroup neutron diffusion equation.
