Product Description
A classic textbook for an introductory course in nuclear reactor analysis that introduces the nuclear engineering student to the basic scientific principles of nuclear fission chain reactions and lays a foundation for the subsequent application of these principles to the nuclear design and analysis of reactor cores. This text introduces the student to the fundamental principles governing nuclear fission chain reactions in a manner that renders the transition to practical nuclear reactor design methods most natural.Part 1: Introductory Concepts of Nuclear Reactor Analysis An Introduction to Nuclear Power Generation The Nuclear Physics of Fission Chain Reaction Fission Chain Reactions and Nuclear Reactor.
