"Nuclear Energy" is one of the most popular texts ever published on basic nuclear physics, systems, and applications of nuclear energy. This newest edition continues the tradition of offering a holistic treatment of everything the undergraduate engineering student needs to know in a clear and accessible way. The book presents a comprehensive overview of radioactivity, radiation protection, nuclear reactors, waste disposal, and nuclear medicine. The seventh edition is restructured into three parts: Basic
Concepts, Nuclear Power (including new chapters on nuclear power
plants and introduction to reactor theory), and Radiation and Its
Uses. Part Two in particular has been updated with current
developments, including a new section on Reactor Safety and
Security (with a discussion of the Fukushima Diiachi accident);
updated information on naval and space propulsion; and revised and
updated information on radioactive waste storage, transportation,
and disposal. Part Three features new content on biological effects
of radiation, radiation standards, and radiation detection.
Nuclear Energy: An Introduction to the Concepts, Systems, and Applications of Nuclear Processes, Eighth Edition, provides essential information on basic nuclear physics, systems and the applications of nuclear energy. It comprehensively covers Basic Concepts, Radiation and Its Uses, and Nuclear Power, providing students with a broad view of nuclear energy and science in a fast-paced format that features updated, timely content on topics of new and growing importance to current and future nuclear professionals, such as tritium-powered betavoltaic integrated circuit chips, the modulation of radioactive decay constant due to solar activity, Monte Carlo radiation transport calculations and accelerator-driven systems. This book is an essential resource for any first course on nuclear energy and systems.
