This unique volume gives an accurate and very detailed description
of the functioning and operation of basic nuclear reactors, as
emerging from yet unpublished papers by Nobel Laureate Enrico
Fermi.In the first part, the entire course of lectures on Neutron
Physics delivered by Fermi at Los Alamos is reported, according to
the version made by Anthony P French. Here, the fundamental
physical phenomena are described very clearly and comprehensively,
giving the appropriate physics grounds for the functioning of
nuclear piles. In the second part, all the patents issued by Fermi
(and coworkers) on the functioning, construction and operation of
several different kinds of nuclear reactors are reported. Here, the
main engineering problems are encountered and solved by employing
simple and practical methods, which are described in detail.This
seminal work mainly caters to students, teachers and researchers
working in nuclear physics and engineering, but it is of invaluable
interest to historians of physics too, since the material presented
here is entirely novel.
