This introductory text presents the basic nuclear science needed to understand and quantify an extensive range of nuclear phenomena. The first half of the book reviews the important results of modern physics and introduces the basic nuclear science needed by a student embarking on the study of nuclear engineering and technology. The second half of the book introduces the theory of nuclear reactors and its applications for electrical power production and propulsion. Other applications in space research, industry, and medicine are also covered. This second edition takes into account major changes in the industrial organization for nuclear plant construction and operation, advances in nuclear instrumentation and medical applications of nuclear technology, and the current understanding of health risks of exposure to ionizing radiation. There is new material on fusion power and particle accelerators, along with new examples and problems and a solutions manual. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
