Book Description

ISBN-10: 1560320885 | ISBN-13: 978-1560320883 | Publication Date: September 1, 1992 | Edition: 2 Sub

This edition builds on earlier traditions in providing broad subject-area coverage, application of theory to practical aspects of commercial nuclear power, and use of instructional objectives. Like the first edition, it focuses on what distinguishes nuclear engineering from the other engineering disciplines. However, this edition includes reorganization and overall update of descriptions of reactor designs and fuel-cycle steps, and more emphasis on reactor safety, especially related to technical and management lessons learned from the TMI-2 and Chernobyl - 4 accidents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Overview Book for PE and Defense Exam Preparation, December 18, 1997

djbrice@3-cities.com (Richland WA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nuclear engineering : theory and technology of commercial nuclear power (Library Binding)

This book is a comprehensive overview of nuclear engineering topics. It is that ONE book if you must rely on just one. It is similar to the Glasstone book but newer and with better text. The explanations in the Reactor Physics and Kinetics chapters are great and easy to understand. I wish I'd had this book as an undergraduate; that Reactor Analysis course would have been much more understandable!
