This text is an ideal introduction to the fundamentals of nuclear science and engineering. It presents the basic nuclear science needed to understand and quantify nuclear phenomena such as nuclear reactions, nuclear energy, radioactivity, and radiation interactions with matter-exploring the latest advances in the detection and measurement of radiation, fusion and fission energy, stellar evolution, nuclear power reactors, nuclear propulsion, direct conversion of nuclear energy, and applications of nuclear technology in research, industry, agriculture, and medicine.Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineeringprovides extensive problem sets for each chaptersummarizes developments in the creation of atomic and nuclear modelsdevelops the kinematics and energetics of nuclear reactions and radioactivityidentifies and assesses biological risks associated with ionizing radiation gives the theory of nuclear reactors and their dynamic behaviordiscusses the design and characteristics of present day nuclear power reactorssummarizes the nuclear fuel cycle and radioactive waste managementgives an overview of nuclear propulsion for ships and space craftsdescribes methods for directly converting nuclear energy into electricitydiscusses the use of nuclear techniques in medical therapy and diagnosiscovers basic concepts in theory of special relativity, wave-particle duality, and quantum mechanicsprovides appendices with large amounts of practical data to enable students to perform a wealth of calculationsScrutinizing the characteristics and applications of nuclear energy and its radiation, Fundamentals of Nuclear Science and Engineering is an essential text for first-year nuclear engineering students as well as upper-level undergraduate and graduate students taking courses in industrial, mechanical, chemical, process, and civil engineering; physics; nuclear science; chemistry; genetic engineering; and medical diagnostics.
