This new streamlined text offers a one-semester treatment of the
essentials of how the fission nuclear reactor works, the various
approaches to the design of reactors, and their safe and efficient
operation. The book includes numerous worked-out examples and
end-of-chapter questions to help reinforce the knowledge presented.
This textbook offers an engineering-oriented introduction to
nuclear physics, with a particular focus on how those physics are
put to work in the service of generating nuclear-based power,
particularly the importance of neutron reactions and neutron
behavior. Engineering students will find this applications-oriented
approach, with many worked-out examples, more accessible and more
meaningful as they aspire to become future nuclear engineers.
- A clear, general overview of atomic physics from the standpoint
of reactor functionality and design, including the sequence of
fission reactions and their energy release
- In-depth discussion of neutron reactions, including neutron
kinetics and the neutron energy spectrum, as well as neutron
spatial distribution
- Ample worked-out examples and over 100 end-of-chapter problems
- Full Solutions Manual
