This hands-on textbook introduces physics and nuclear engineering
students to the experimental and theoretical aspects of fission
physics for research and applications through worked examples and
problem sets. The study of nuclear fission is currently undergoing
a renaissance. Recent advances in the field create the opportunity
to develop more reliable models of fission predictability and to
supply measurements and data to critical applications including
nuclear energy, national security and counter-proliferation, and
medical isotope production. An Introduction to Nuclear Fission
provides foundational knowledge for the next generation of
researchers to contribute to nuclear fission physics.

Written by established experts in the field, this book features
in-depth discussions of proven scientific principles, current
trends, and applications of nuclear chemistry to the sciences and
engineering. Provides up-to-date coverage of the latest research
and examines the theoretical and practical aspects of nuclear and
radiochemistry Presents the basic physical principles of nuclear
and radiochemistry in a succinct fashion, requiring no basic
knowledge of quantum mechanics Adds discussion of math tools and
simulations to demonstrate various phenomena, new chapters on
Nuclear Medicine, Nuclear Forensics and Particle Physics, and
updates to all other chapters Includes additional solved problems
to help students and a solutions manual for all end of chapter
problems for instructors Reviews of 1st edition: "...an
authoritative, comprehensive but succinct, state-of-the-art
textbook ..." (The Chemical Educator) and "...an excellent resource
for libraries and laboratories supporting programs requiring
familiarity with nuclear processes ..." (CHOICE)
