NUCLEAR ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS is the most modern, up-to-date,
and reader friendly nuclear engineering textbook on the market
today. It provides a thoroughly modern alternative to classical
nuclear engineering textbooks that have not been updated over the
last 20 years. Printed in full color, it conveys a sense of awe and
wonder to anyone interested in the field of nuclear energy. It
discusses nuclear reactor design, nuclear fuel cycles, reactor
thermal-hydraulics, reactor operation, reactor safety, radiation
detection and protection, and the interaction of radiation with
matter. It presents an in-depth introduction to the science of
nuclear power, nuclear energy production, the nuclear chain
reaction, nuclear cross sections, radioactivity, and radiation
transport. All major types of reactors are introduced and
discussed, and the role of internet tools in their analysis and
design is explored. Reactor safety and reactor containment systems
are explored as well. To convey the evolution of nuclear science
and engineering, historical figures and their contributions to
evolution of the nuclear power industry are explored. Numerous
examples are provided throughout the text, and are brought to life
through life-like portraits, photographs, and colorful
illustrations. The text follows a well-structured pedagogical
approach, and provides a wide range of student learning features
not available in other textbooks including useful equations,
numerous worked examples, and lists of key web resources. As a
bonus, a complete Solutions Manual and .PDF slides of all figures
are available to qualified instructors who adopt the text. More
than any other fundamentals book in a generation, it is
student-friendly, and truly impressive in its design and its scope.
It can be used for a one semester, a two semester, or a three
semester course in the fundamentals of nuclear power. It can also
serve as a great reference book for practicing nuclear scientists
and engineers. To date, it has achieved the highest overall
satisfaction of any mainstream nuclear engineering textbook
available on the market today.
