About this title

Synopsis

Offering the most current and complete introduction to nuclear engineering available, this book contains new information on French, Russian, and Japanese nuclear reactors. All units have been revised to reflect current standards. Includes discussions of new reactor types including the AP600, ABWR, and SBWR as well as an extensive section on non-US design reactors; the nuclear Navy and its impact on the development of nuclear energy; binding energy and such topics as the semi-empirical mass formula and elementary quantum mechanics; and solutions to the diffusion equation and a more general derivation of the point kinetics equation. Topics in reactor safety include a complete discussion of the Chernobyl accident and an updated section on TMI and the use of computer codes in safety analysis. For nuclear engineers.

From the Back Cover

The third edition of this popular book is updated to include a completely revised discussion of reactor technology, an improved discussion of the reactor physics, and a more detailed discussion of basic nuclear physics and models.

• Introduces the basics of the shell model of the nucleus and a beginning discussion of quantum mechanics.
• Discusses both U.S. and non-U.S. reactor designs, as well as advanced reactors.
• Provides for a more detailed understanding of both reactor statics and kinetics.
• Includes updated information on reactor acidents and safety.
