This is a good general reference work regarding nuclear reactor engineering and design, aimed mainly at undergrad. and graduate students in nuclear engineering but also useful to engineerings and physical engineers working with extant reactors. The authors and editors do a good job of covering advances in systems control and related areas up to the 1994 publication of this edition.

Review of the 3rd Edition,
The book is considered one of the great text books and references in the Nuclear field, although it has been written by a Physical Chemist and Chemical Engineer expert from Manhatten project. Both authors had long relations with the U.S. Department of energy. The book stressess more on the mathematical modeling and solutions more than the engineering aspects in the Nuclear Engineering. It's language is of high standard which make it difficult to grasp from students.

Having final answers of the problems at the end would help the students Also, having some internet links to more info will make more valuable source of references.
