The present book is felt necessary as no single book covers the whole syllabus for Nuclear Engineering in the Indian Universities. Most of the books available do not give a complete picture of India's Nuclear Programme. There is utmost need to expose the students to the total gamut of activities of the Nuclear Power Plant from mining to waste disposal, besides bringing out the benefits and biological effects of radiation. The Book starts with the need or motivation for Nuclear Energy, and goes on to give basic concepts of reactor physics necessary to understand the operation of nuclear reactors.
