This book is a treatment on the foundational knowledge of Nuclear
Science and Engineering. It is an outgrowth of a first-year
graduate-level course which the author has taught over the years in
the Department of Nuclear Science and Engineering at MIT. The
emphasis of the book is on concepts in nuclear science and
engineering in contrast to the traditional nuclear physics in a
nuclear engineering curriculum. The essential difference lies in
the importance we give to the understanding of nuclear radiation
and their interactions with matter. We see our students as nuclear
engineers who work with all kinds of nuclear devices, from fission
and fusion reactors to accelerators and detection systems. In all
these complex systems nuclear radiation play a central role. In
generating nuclear radiation and using them for beneficial
purposes, scientists and engineers must understand the properties
of the radiation and how they interact with their surroundings. It
is through the control of radiation interactions that we can
develop new devices or optimize existing ones to make them more
safe, powerful, durable, or economical. This is why radiation
interaction is the essence of this book.
