Fundamentals of Nuclear Reactor Physics,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This new streamlined text offers a onesemester treatment of the essentials of how the fission nuclear reactor works, the various approaches to the design of reactors, and their safe and efficient operation. The book includes numerous workedout examples and endofchapter questions to help reinforce the knowledge presented.This textbook offers an engineeringoriented introduction to nuclear physics, with a particular focus on how those physics are put to work in the service of generating nuclearbased power, particularly the importance of neutron reactions and neutron behavior. Engineering students will find this applicationsoriented approach, with many workedout examples, more accessible and more meaningful as they aspire to become future nuclear engineers. A clear, general overview of atomic physics from the standpoint of reactor functionality and design, including the sequence of fission reactions and their energy release Indepth discussion of neutron reactions, including neutron kinetics and the neutron energy spectrum, as well as neutron spatial distribution Ample workedout examples and over 100 endofchapter problems
